Is Classe AUdio no longer???

Interesting indeed- czarivey.
I hope those guys are not junk-sourcing to china.

I owned two CP800 preamps. One from Canada and one from China. I couldn't tell them apart in looks or sound. Joe

No more delta amps and preamps...

Not all labor in China is slave or under-paid.

The quality of products delivered from China have to do with the quality and care of the labor as well as manufacturer's negotiating fairly, and putting in their own QA people there.

I agree 100% with erik...
I'm old enough to remember a time when, "Made in Japan" was synonymous with "JUNK".  Obviously, that's no longer the case since, following WWII, Japanese industrial leaders had the good sense to listen to William Deming and adopt statistical process control practices...major contributors to the excellent quality now associated with Japanese goods - including autos and electronics.  Due to other influences, a similar transformation is underway in China and has been for some time. Personally, I find it foolish to treat all Chinese electronics as cheap, poor quality products produced by sweat shop labor.  Examples can be found to support this stereotype but the exceptions are growing and can represent high value alternatives to Western-mftd. goods.
