Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio?
With the insane prices now being asked for audio equipment from manufacturers around the globe is china going to fill in the gap between the haves and have-nots.? We are already seeing some signs of this with manufacturers like Jays Audio and Denafrips offering product-performance prices below global market value. The only thing I see holding them back is they will always be one leg behind the rest of the world since they copy most of the technology they use and world wide acceptance.
Seriously, consider that you were born already in all cultures on earth perhaps, then try to remember from that perspective to understand history... And goes the Christ way and do not differentiate people by languages or cultures or go the Buddha way and go to a place there is no cultures and languages but consciousness.. We need this now on earth...

Whenever China will created a great new technology or product the european will figure it out after us and they will mass market it cheaper... ( This was true till the 16-17 century) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chinese_inventions

How swiss clock were anticipated long ago https://montrespubliques.com/new-1minute-reads/early-chinese-horology-su-sungs-water-clock « It is remarkable just how advanced Chinese horology was back then. Upon its completion in 1090, Su Sung’s water clock would have been the most cutting-edge horological device on the planet. To put things in perspective, The Catholic Church didn’t have their first weight driven mechanical clock until 1283, Christiaan Huygens’s didn’t patent the pendulum clock until 1657, and Su Sung’s clock was only decommissioned in 1126. Imagine how much farther horology may have come had the Sung Dynasty and its successors continued to emphasize horology? It’s quite something. In a book called “The Genius of China – 3000 Years of Science, Discovery, and Invention”, the introduction titled ‘The West’s Debt to China’ explains that one of the greatest untold secrets in history is the effect that China has had on many of the modern-day inventions Westerner’s still use today. And Su Sung’s clock is just one of the many contributions from Chinese civilization over the millennia. This also recalls China’s increasingly central role in the world of watchmaking today, and as such, their modern contributions to horology.» |
This video shows recent events in China and how they differ from how China represents itself. I’ve read news reports of studies showing how China leads the west in this or that. This video shows how the current Chinese culture trades quality with the appearance of quality. Until this changes, China will not follow Japan as a high quality provider of technological goods. Does this mean that China does not possess some cutting age technology, no. It does mean that there is some question as to if their PL-15 long range air to air missile works as claimed. In fact this is true of much of their claimed technological advances. The two men presenting this video lived in China for decades. The video was recorded two days ago. |
Many asian companies - and I really do think it important to apply said distinction as not to generalize or disassociate the individuality and innovation of many unique companies in the East- are already well beyond the “copy cat” market approach. Actually, all audio companies borrow from each other to an extent, some more overtly than others..yes. There will always be class leaders in certain respects when it comes to new concepts and approaches to equipment and offerings. But why would that still be relegated only to the uber-elite companies? Especially with such impressive burgeoning tech in constant discovery and refinement? Not to say that if I had the $$$$$ that I wouldn’t consider something like a DarTZeel pre or power amp 🙏🏼
