Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation.

@russ69 Do not discount the Chinese they are finding the sweet spot of acceptable quality. It will only be a short time before Chinese hi-fi dominates the market.

I agree with you. A few short years ago I probably may not have. As I write this I am awaiting delivery of a Topping DAC. It was a toss-up between that and a Gustard.

Both brands (to the best of my understanding) are pretty much of Chinese design and build.  They go way above what may be politely described as "acceptable" quality on many levels that are important to me.

Hey mikey, what are you smoking? 

You got all that from what I said? Sounds more like you're reaching.
Go back and reread what I said in response to what someone else keeps harping about and maybe it will start to make some sense. But then, knowing you, maybe not.

All the best,

"The rich have think tanks, special interest groups, collectives, extensive media penetration and money bundling (PACS) to support pols who'll serve to ensure their interests are first and foremost in the policies they put forth.

They even have assembly lines of universities, law schools and special interest groups to ensure they only get the judges they want (all Supreme Court judges come from only 2 universities). "

YEAH, they are called the Demon-cratic party lmao...wake up!

"I'm just speculating and I could be wildly wrong, but perhaps it was because certain folk here couldn't help themselves making unwarranted and provocative comments designed to incite partisan squabbles?"

YEA! AND HE IS THE BIGGEST OFFENDER! NN.....

American corporations and the western banking elite are conjoined triplets with the Chinese Government. Any criticism of the Communist regime is doubly applicable to the people that funded the whole shebang.

Slave Labor is the most efficient way to run a fascist corporation.... Birds of a feather flock together.

To add to the conversation, now that China has undercut manufacturing all over the world by flooding foreign markets with super cheap low quality products, it is making the pivot to up it’s export quality.

If you read papers published by the Communist regime think tanks from 20 years ago, this was always their plan. China is now ready to introduce Chinese brands that will compete with every major player on the world market.

Hi-Fi is just one part of market pivot.
