why wouldnt they have any motivation to do that? the domestic market is a different market then what they sell to us, ..they can and are producing state of the art "products" , we just dont see it cause the export is simply build by the lowest bidder

Is this first hand knowledge - and can you cite reference material that supports your statement... or is this conjecture.

Sounds like bullshit to me.

Peace.

Yes, at least one "audio technology" is beautifully made -- Eastman guitars. While not specifically "audio" but rather "musical", Eastman guitars are gorgeous instruments rivaling the best of anyone's. They are hand-made in China. I own the PG1 and it is simply a marvelous instrument.

Except they seem to use "green" wood sometimes. I've seen 3 beautifully figured double basses crack (top cracks) and 2 archtop jazz guitars crack.

I haven't seen more Eastman guitars than the one I own. It is fabulous.
