integrated amplifier made in China

[Anonymous]

Poor me!

Chinese made has become quite good. When Japan first started producing a lot of it was mediocre. Now they are the best engineers in the world. The Chinese worship the Japanese. This makes their objective rather very clear. Pay no attention to these middle class assholes with nothing but complaint and a bias towards name brand only.

I am becoming more convinced by the day that the hi-fi fraternity is largely made up of grumpy, nit picking old men with nothing better to do than to argue the toss about pretty much anything. Hilarious really...

:rofl:

You got that right Supreme (Court?)!

As for the OP: I'd have expected anything bearing the Krell name to have something not far off bombproof build. Not something I'd have thought they'd give up on too readily.

Could've fooled me.

It's a complicated relationship, but in terms of respect for Japanese engineering/technology, you are probably right.

Unless I'm concerned about ensuring my money goes to or stays within a certain country, I have no qualms about purchasing Chinese manufactured goods. Fresh produce and certain other food products I still try to avoid.

I speak from real world observations, self-formed opinions (I am a man of logic) Forget about URLs to information written by Killer Joe doing 20 to life in long bay jail for all I know.

There's probably a lot of Germans (and others) who would disagree with you.

My opinion is that the Chinese are very good at copying & stealing the ideas of others. Unlike you, I don't hold out my opinions as incontrovertible fact.

I have computer programming experience, so of course my views are going be coherent. Go with whatever view makes the most sense, it is the right opinion.

I agree that the Chinese have some questions to answer in regards to copyright and patent. China is still a third world country, turn a blind eye for now shall we?

So they can shaft us later? No, I don't think so. A pre-emptive strike might be more what's needed. That's obviously from a Western perspective; as someone else said earlier, I have a concern as to how this will pan out in the years to come.

China has a navy 250,000 strong. The RAN is <15,000 strong. WW3 WITHOUT the involvment of Australia is how it could pan out.

China won't go to war,there's too much money to be made from trading with the rest of the world.

The west may not be comfortable with China's human rights and imperialism but they(or us)will have to accept it....imho.

As for copying...anyone remember that episode of top gear when they were in China?..... :rofl:

It's not all about the money, and this is the reason why the western world is going to have problems with China.

Ahem, "technology transfer" please. And doesn't hosting so much global manufacturing provide the ideal opportunity for it.

China built their high speed rail network and boasted that they'd be selling the technology and knowhow to the world, despite the fact that they'd basically ripped off European and Japanese Tech. The Japanese media enjoyed a serious bout of schadenfreude when there was a major crash soon afterwards.
