Buying from China


What do you think the impact will be in buying gear from China in the near future. Will the parts supply chain be depleted. Will part s other then those specify be substituted.? Will wait times for electrics will be extended. I can get pretty paranoid about it. Interested in the options of those with better insights. Should I wait awhile until things settle down befor I place my next order? I imagine things are going to be tough for the small hi end audio manufacturer.

May have been?

You are quite generous with benefit of the doubt. It screams "give me money" everywhere.
Pick any discipline and you'll find a gaggle of scam artists, con men, grifters and shady characters on one particular side, and they have this uncanny knack of drawing in dupes, marks, schmoes, and suckers.

Just a few days ago a mother lost her child to the flu. She followed a group of anti vaxers on facebook who told her that all she needed was breastmilk and herbs and to forgo her Rx for Tamiflu. 

The site she was on is ran by some asshole who has no dog in this fight as he doesn't have any kids but sells anti vaxer crap to the unwitting and ignorant. That kid would still be alive if her mother had half the brain of a jackass.

All the best,

>>>>Can we please keep discipline out of this? Yuk, yuk.

You can’t cheap an honest man and never wise up a chump. Besides, people would generally be much better off if they believed in too much rather than too little.
