Vez,

It looks like anything goes -- as long as you can get away with it. That's what passes for morality these days. This is a sad commentary on the decline of business ethics -- and much more, IMO.

Audio companies get away with all sorts of shenanigans. Claims are often made that bear no resemblance to reality. We know this is supported by reviewers and we often expect no better. But to create the image that your product is made in your home country when it is actually Made in China -- and then stonewalling over the matter -- is taking deception to a whole new level that is totally unacceptable, IMO.

I find it odd that any high end audio company would be willing to risk their reputation over the basic matter of product labeling, and over the basic matter of not standing behind their product (referring back to the recent interaction I had with Hegel posted about in another forum thread).

Sabai, do you think your daily denigration of Hegel has cost them a single sale?
