Made In China

I kind of started from scratch a few years ago.  I purchased a Topping D90.  Still have it and enjoy it.  The digital section has very good parts. I don't know about the analog side but sound is neutral.

I don't have the budget to experiment.  But I am curious.  I purchased silver coated OCC copper with Rhodium coated 45 degree angle bananas that have expanding ends to lock them into place. 2 M speaker cables $93.  I am sending my American made ribbon wires to have the same ends put on.  Those wires were $100.

I have American spirit.  I love America.  I have strong opinions but it is a waste of time in most cases to argue with people.  Especially here.  Either buy or not, there are personal reasons one way or the other..

You take a fact i gave out of his context...

Read my posts context...

I compared a country number of planet earth bases and conflicts numbers out of his historical borders with another country number of bases and conflicts out of his historical borders...

I never suggested that a war is right invading another country...On this count Us beat Russia by the number of wars in all countries around earth ...

It is you who takes propaganda as fact and appeal to censor my post...

Facts are facts.

And i did not begin the propaganda lies here...

I only propose facts to counter them...

back to audio... You are right about this... 😊

@mahgister you seem to know very little about Russia’s history. But let’s move on. By your logic, anyone can use the historical border argument. The World would be a bloodbath in a split second. Historical borders were arguments used in devastating world wars. I would recommend you look at maps from a few hundred years ago.

"It’s about being from a communist country. We have issues supporting them."

The definition of a "communist country" is becoming a little more vague these days. Some highly educated individuals in "democratic societies" wear it as a badge of honor.

Just sayin’

You are so right...

Even an ex Chinese exile woman interviewed by Tucker Carlson from the CCP living here in the US recognized with fears the ideology of our so called "free and better society " as pure propaganda by many social aspects ... Canada under Trudeau is becoming a jail under surveillance as CCP modelled it in China right now ...

the WHO unelected privately controlled institution proposition for the censorship about any matter of Health or politics is evident proof..

it is useless to boycott a selected country agression and not all the others countries who do the same agressions in their own way..

Selected boycott is only propaganda..

truth inhabit the heart of some people around the world  not the  politics of a country presented as a model ...

There are many reasons not to buy a Chinese made product when there is a suitable alternative that’s made in a country with a similar playing field to the USA.  Where I believe many companies go wrong is they don’t consider that country of origin is important to many of us, and not supporting the Chinese economy is in all of our best interest.  Audio equipment is a source of pride for many of us, and something that connects with our soul.  B&W is an example of not understanding how many audiophiles think.  While the 805 series of speakers are made within their UK factory with pride, you only need to drop down to the 700 series to find they are made in China, and the 705’s cost a whopping $3400!   For that price there are a whole lot of other options that aren’t made in China.

As so often happens, when a business becomes too large, or is taken over by a large corporation, the location of manufacturing becomes less important for them, and it’s all about the marketing and incremental profit.  A savvy consumer, and someone who is looking for more than a brand name at a cheap price, will seek out quality, and something they can be proud of.  

This is certainly a conversation that could go on forever, and if you have time, I’d love to talk about Vice-Grip….
