chinese counterfeitng

Parasound, Tannoy....China.

I think most here are referring to the PRC.

The Chinese integrated I just got is genuine and can trash a whole bunch of others as well

Very true of some Cayins and Line Magnetics.

Unfortunately, a significant number of products manufactured in China are poor in quality...depends on the industry. If it is a faked product , there should be greater concern over the quality as fakes are typically designed to mimic appearance...not performance. Hence, you should purchase from a reputable dealer. Don’t be afraid to ask for a discount. If you don’t ask...you don’t get! And, if the price seems to good to be true...it most likely is!

Nonoise is so pumped over his kinki studios integrated that I might just put in an order today. Great review btw. The Chinese make some pretty awesome gear. 
Not everyone can afford 5 figure components. Vincent, primaluna are also made there. 

Though I've obviously made the statement shifting the accusations of counterfeiting by the Chinese back on the accusers, that doesn't mean I believe they produce the best sounding, best performing, best value audio components.  They simply don't
