Perusing Ebay lately I have noticed several small Class A SS Integrated Amps from Douk Audio,Nobsound and a few more..Parts count looks great with names like Vishay,Alps,Motorola Gold to name a few...Anyone tried or heard one yet???
Vietnam, Malaysia, India etc. Likely destinations for finding cheap labor as China’s manufacturing cost inevitably rise. People forget that in the 1950s- 1960s "made in Japan " was a put down. Times do change. Charles
See the DIYAudio website for discussions on the given sellers on eBay, who steal circuits and sell them as their own. The level of intellectual theft is staggering.
Sneaker makers will change countries and have done so for 5 cents a hour difference .Greed is infinite . Eastern Electric stuff is made in China and is among the best made and most reliable gear on the market .
Trelja, Your list of countries is on target. At this point there are quite a few countries that can offer much cheaper labor than China these days. These countries will experience an increase in their standard of living just as China has over the past 20 to 25 years. Manufacturing jobs will do that for you. 30 years ago who would have thought china would have multiple numbers of millionaires and a middle-class population of its current size. Hello capitalism.
