Made In China

I have worked for global high tech manufacturing companies for most of my career. Most recently spending about a week in mainland China and Japan each month, then for several months in Europe and Mexico in contract manufacturers and logistics centers. 
 

In general, Japan designs and manufactures excellent products of all kinds, China produces some of the finest products… think iPhones, complete junk, and everything in between. korea also produces some excellent products… think Aurender.

At the highest level, the best audio products come from the US, but with some outstanding products from Europe, Korea and Japan. I would say the US and Europe dominate. But, these are generalizations. When you drop down to lower tier stuff, it is all over the map. 
 

Overall, country of origin is of little consequence when purchasing equipment. 
 

Wise post and you are certainly right ... I trust you about audio...ghdprentice

I prefer American products. The remembrances of at least 251 military interventions between 1991 and 2022 in no way affect the quality of the US audio product. And all governements change around the world and killings since 1945 is only for the greater good , no ?

Am i brainwash?😁

As i said it is better for the thread to stay on audio...😊

It’s just like my shoes. I have tried to wear shoes from other locales, but only Chinese made shoes are really soft and pliable. The tears of Chinese children really soak in and make the leather fantastic, and their little hands make the finest stitching. No more American junk for me.

I own two products from Denafrips, a Chinese company, and they seem to be very well made. I’ve had zero issues, although I’ve only owned them for slightly less than a year. They do come with a warranty and Denafrips has US support. They are also responsive to emails.  They have changed my opinion of Chinese made products in that it is possible to find well made/engineered Chinese components.
