Profit standards are very important to the Chinese. |

Is this a trick question? Honestly, they control their quality only to the extent that their OEM clients make them. |

Keith, I was making a comparison between, say, SE mics, and Apple. SE can make things as shitty as they want. The stuff that comes from Apple has to meet a certain standard. Apple also has work practice standards for any factory that builds for them. |

I agree. I think that the Chinese could build something at any quality level which was required, as long as they were paid accordingly. Now, whether the chinese have the ability in their engineering population to advance the state of the art, I don't know. |

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 |

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. Barry |
