Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio?

You are funny.......I was not offended at all.  As to avoiding arguments or thinking, my "opinion" is that this is not a forum to argue about Fauci, Democrats, Republicans, etc.  Maybe as only a "one time poster" I incorrectly assumed this was a forum regarding audio and that which is related to same.   Who knows, maybe "Fauci" is a band new tube amp I am not yet familiar with.....if so, my bad....

I am perhaps funny...

But being offended manifest itself by a REACTION and and APPEAL  against someone post or argument or person...

Instead of being offended give argument as i did when i am not ok with a post...As i did in this thread where some spoke their prejudices ...

I dislike censorship so much, i dont think that giving an opinion about anything in an audio thread can be BANNED...

i like friendship... This means discussion even with people with we are in complete opposition... Discussion with  RATIONAL arguments  are interesting... Offended people are not helpful nor interesting... Be offended but give a counter argument and dont ask for censorship of any kind... I dont want to live in China CCP at all...

I forgot to say that i apologize for my  reaction to your first post...

I welcome you...

And i hope you will give us arguments about your opinions in audio or about what you thought about...

Even if we see things in different perspective we can learn from others ...

I sincerely welcome you and i apologize giving my opinion too...

I didn’t think that you were offended.  I interpreted what you said as meaning that the comments were inappropriate.

There are many objective measurement vs subjective listening threads that discuss “science”.  These are pretty lively discussions.

As you have seen, most component, or music threads are threads where members try to help other members.

OK, hopefully last on the topic.  I assure you, I was not offended.  Maybe it is just me, but I can react to things, in varying degrees, personally or professionally, without offense taken.  I can also offer recommendations, suggest actions etc, personally or professionally w/out offense.  We may differ in opinions on censorship.  I simply am not interested in engaging in debate regarding medical/political issues here (emphasis added).  Elsewhere, sure, assuming I'm in the mood.   

I too prefer friendship, camaraderie, etc.  I was rooting for you in past posts, calling out what I felt was bigotry.  Thanks for your apology, however it was not needed.  Maybe I will join further discussions.  

My current audio issue is whether to buy Thiel 1.6's or 2.2's to upgrade my system.  Thoughts?
