I came across this site that sells high quality china made audio stuff. Has anyone purchased from them? Is there anyone who is in HK comment on this?

Anm,
No but it sounds like an extremely interesting and naughty site... Are you sure it sells only 'high quality' audio stuff? :yahoo:

Why would anybody even consider buying this rubbish anyway when there is so much good product on the market. None of these companies make any original products, they are all just copies of old U.S. and British designs made as cheap as possible in communist gov't owned factories. All the resellers and distributors of Chinese products do the same things and then point their fingers at the other guy and claim that he is the one screwing everything up. Point is, the Chinese themselves are to blame as they are inherently chaotic and opportunistic. Do you think there would be so many guys claiming to be official suppliers if the factories were not actively participating in this charade? Look at the Swiss watch companies if you want to draw a parallel. All Swiss watch companies tell you right on their website not to buy from any internet traders as the goods are either counterfeit, fake, stolen or defective. But then look and see how many internet traders are selling those brands, hundreds if not thousands. Where on earth are they getting their inventory? Of course the factories are complicit in this, they have too much to lose by not participating. Even more so with the Chinese audio makers as their brands mean nothing outside of China. In fact, even Chinese people don't want to buy these brands, they want western products.
My advice, don't buy this crap from anybody under any circumstances. It is only bound to become landfill anyway. And always beware of the company that goes to a lot of effort to put down and try to discredit the other sellers of same, as they themselves are the ones to watch out for. This has been going on for 40 years among the hifi dealers in Hong Kong. ""we are the official distributors" they claim, "Not those other guys". It's a kind of inbred cultural tendency of the Chinese to try to build themselves up by discrediting their competition and claiming to be the official factory sanctioned entity. They are all liars and opportunists trying to get rich quick. Always buy a European, Japanese, or American brand and get true value with support and backup.
Gobble, buddy, Looks like you picked up wrong day to post this. Because kungfu Master Y U Hai Ding (a.k.a. Sonny the bone breaker) is in the forum and have read this. His PM message to me says He is very much offended and if you are free in the evening he will be visiting you soon...Suddenly your blissful joy filled music listening session may be interrupted by the voice of Chairman Mao advising you to drop everything (no, not your clothes), burn the National flag, and join the Revolution!! Welcome to the new world order!! Join the Chinese Long march!!
Psssst ... ! And if you open the cover of your Chinese Gear quickly enough (voiding ... the warranty of course - not yourself in the process ), you might just notice little Chinese men scampering for cover to hide behind and in between the capacitors and circuit boards

You are truly a Mahatma !! I bow my head to thee in humble respect. hyeah:
Another thing ... these Chinese Hifi gear may have a Trojan firmware - hidden code embedded in the ASIC visible only under an electron microscope. In the time of war, this code may surreptitiously get activated by the Chinese hacker army across the border.

Worst case scenario, the Hifi gear might just go dead and refuse to operate with your favorite CD in the tray irretrievable without smashing the player.
They are doing it to our telecommunications equipment, our DSL modems, to our naval ports ... now it is the turn of HiFi gear :indifferent14:

Gobble,
It's really nothing anywhere near that elaborate. The product is just junk. It is all Chinese domestic market product made to a cost-down formula in order to be sold to the masses, ie: Chinese laborers who make US$3,500/year. The sad joke is, when it gets into the hands of distributors outside of China, it suddenly is equal in value and performance to products that sell for US$5k. Anybody who can count to 10 can see it's a scam.
