Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews?

Can't we put the China "poor quality" thing to bed? There are so many extremely well made Chinese audio products (Hegel, Jolida, Cambridge, Primaluna, Vincent, outsourced high end speaker boxes, on and on) out there now that it's fairly ridiculous to condemn the great stuff made there. 

Hi wolf garcia,
I might agree with you providing you give us a a list of reliable equipment made in Europe and in the USA. Please have in mind that i had many failures from stuff made in UK and Japan.

Akispapadsvvas, I think you meant to direct your comment at jafant. He's the very anti China participant in this thread. I have a bunch of Chinese made components that sound beautiful, have high quality and that have been driven hard for a few years now. Chinese manufacturing is pretty damned capable now. Remember how long it took to shake the "made in Japan = bad quality" stereotype from the 70s and 80s?

Other than China does not play by the same rules and are primary violators of all things environmental and fair wages.
