Am I courting derision and contempt?

i try to avoid Chinese products when I can, though I doubt that any of us have not purchased Chinese products, and that's just my choice for my reasons with no judgment on anyone else. There are way too many people in the audio hobby who think its their business to critique how other people choose to spend their money.

agreed and no argument, my post was obviously taken out of context. With that being said there is plenty of good audio gear coming out of China, so to each his own .........

Michael I get your point, but................

How many of these 'small European or American companies' go ahead and have their products manufactured in China anyways ? and it's all for one reason........

many different ways of sleeping with the devil.....

Totally agree. I'm talking about the ones we know are actually manufactured in the USA or China.

I'm not saying I'm right. Just that I choose to spend my $$ to support the ones NOT made in China.

If we all threw out everything in our lives that has a connection with being manufactured in China, your house and life would be rather empty.
I'm not a fan of China but this is currently reality.

Hi Brad - please re-read my post. That was not what I suggested.

Thanks.

Again, I hear you loud and clear and with that being said one of my favorites right in my own backyard, Rogue Audio. Spent good times with Mark over cigars and good whisky

No you did not establish any context. Typical lame excuse....

As a whole I find it disappointing that patents or no patents - we would choose to buy an audio piece knowing that purchase supports the #1 country of IP theft, industrial espionage and theft, Uyghurs concentration camps and forced labor.

There are so many other choices we can make in hifi audio. I personally would not buy a knock off and support the above.

Instead support a small company out of Europe or the USA. There are so many great ones who are deserving of our money and support.

Just my personal opinion.

Well yours is a valid personal choice.

Right now as a Canadian, it's the USA I prefer not to buy from.
