If a product I desire is 50 per cent higher in price than a competing Chinese made product I'll fork out the extra dollars for it.

A very close friend of ours is one of the few who were allowed to observe the reality that exists in the industrial sweat shops of China.She was appalled by what she saw...

Here is my experience regarding electronics made in China-the" 1/3 rd rule"

One third function well for many years without defects.

One third have a minor irritating defect but otherwise work OK

One third are either DOA or crash after the warranty expires which is usually between 1-3 years...

Pathetic....

I hate to POP YOUR BALLOON but the main reason there is an  anti-China sentiment is quality control or the lack of it .

At the same time being pro the country one is from doesn't directly mean that one is anti other countries .

My Chinese Quads have better QC than my UK Quads (which I sold). Parts are beginning to fail after 15 years, especially panels exposed to sunlight, but even that, apparently, has been fixed.

Political, ethical, economic matters are another discussion, but let's be clear about what we are really talking about.

Ah yes...play anti Chinese as we peck away on our MIC  computer,router and all cables-as you sip your coffee in a MIC mug.

Let's be real- unless you play with higher end goods-ARC,VAC,Atma etc. you're gonna have a product diluted with MIC something.

That's not saying some smaller companies aren't trying their best to "keep it real."

I enjoy my MICaudio value products. They do as intended and reliable as any US made product, such as my 1967 Mac tuner.

Assembled in USA is not the same as MADE, which is used loosely these past few decades now.

You buy products from  Japan!?!? After what they did to us on December 7th 1941??

A little back story - I worked at a Radio Shack back in the 1970's and many a WWII vet walked in and were very upset that we sold stuff made in Japan and they refused to buy anything made in Japan. They'd actually became very angry at us for selling "Jap" stuff. 

Now of course, that's all been forgotten and it's now China who people refuse to buy from. I understood the Japanese hatred back then. My Dad fought in WWII and lost several friends. But I don't get the China hatred thing. They haven't shot up a school full of little children, crashed airplanes into buildings, nor invade another country. OK, I'll give a little bit on Covid, whether accident or purposeful, they actually hurt themselves more then anyone, so that kinda backfired. They have slave labor, but so do other countries. What they are doing to the Uyghurs is very bad, but it's not like we treat everyone equally either. So.....who are the saints and who are the sinners? And what does it have to do with Audio? I agree with others, I buy from Humans. At least until the Aliens arrive with better DAC's....or have they? Where did R2R DACS come from anyway?
