Difference in quality in products made in China?


There is a belief among many audiophiles that electronics assembled in China or Korea are not as well made as products assembled in the USA and England. This has nothing to do,(I believe) with the "technical abilities" of workers, as it has to do with standards of quality control, and the sourcing of less quality parts throughout Asia

This may be all hogwash and just biased opinion, but this question comes up to often to be quickly dismissed. From my own experience which is limited compared to other members, the products(amps. pre-amps CD players) I have owned that were made in the USA, or UK, and Canada, have been solid in terms of long term reliability. I would like to hear others opinions on this issue.

Wolf-garcia, don't you worry about hurting your hand while surfing? I had a friend who played classical guitar and who hurt his hand while using a jackhammer to earn extra income over the summer. He never regained the strength in that hand that he needed for playing classical guitar so he had to switch over to a jazz program. One wrong mishap could ruin your professional music career.
Goofyfoot- it's called an analogy. You said
Asians have a physiological advantage. Their hands and fingers are strong and nimble. Their bone structure is considerably different from that of people from European decent.

and

My logic and intuition tells me to believe professionals in the field with venerated standing and honorary credentials.

I compared your first statement to statements made by others about so-called "physiological" (actually your example is anatomical)differences between different groups. The actually biological reality is that the intra-racial differences among humans are just as great as inter-racial differences.

With respect to your statement about people with venerated standings, how about all of the popes up until John 23rd, all of whom developed and/or explicitly endorsed the Church's teachings that all Jews were individually and collectively guilty for the crucifixion, and used that as a justification for antisemitism (best case) and genocide (worst case)!!! Silly me, I thought it was the Romans.

In other words, Goofy, KMA!!!!
To make a blanket statement that "Asians have a physiological advantage, their hands and fingers are strong and nimble" is absolutely ridiculous.
While I'm sure there are many Asians who have hands and fingers that are strong and nimble, I'm also sure there are many oafs, butterfingers and ham handed klutzes as well.
IMO: IF (and this is a huge IF) any Asian advantage actually exists it may be one of patience and persistence rather than specific physical traits. And I'm certainly not suggesting all "Asians" are patient or persistent either.
