Red rose Affirmation made in china, any problems??

Infinity_audio, could you please let us know if you have any relationship with Red Rose?

I have a lot of respect for Red Rose products myself, but if the product was available in a more cost effective manner, that would just be smarter on the consumer's part in some instances than paying more. Of course, the support of a dealer network and Red Rose may offset that.

The statement that the Chinese manufacturers make the best electronics today is far from correct, in my opinion. The Chinese certainly have made enormous strides in the past decade, and most things are made in China, but I feel they are not up to the quality of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, USA/Canada, and some European countries. Just compare a CD player or television made in China versus one from Japan. Which one do you think will last longer? The answer is obvious.

Chinese make the best? Hmm ...

When I was a boy I lived in Malaya, which was an English colony. About half the population was Chinese, so I gained some first hand experience with Chinese people. They were our neighbors.

Chinese people are very intelligent, creative, and wise. China had a sophisticated civilization when my ancestors were running around Europe in loincloths. For several centuries they were isolated from the rest of the world by misguided rulers, most recently the Communists. But things have changed. I predict that China will not remain a source of cheap labor, but will soon (well a few decades) be a world leader in technology.

On a recent business trip to Cambridge Mass I walked through the MIT buildings to get to the Coop (store) to buy a calculator. (It was cold and snowing). I thought I had strayed into Peking.

Let me clarify, they do not make the best. I apologize for using the wrong word. I was thinking about their ABILITIES when I typed the last thread. They are NOT the best but I am sure that they can move their way up to be the BEST with their abilities nowadays. As a lot of others has discovered, their standards of the industrial on both computer parts & electronic (parts) can equal (or better) than a lot of other leading countries. No doubt their stuffs are being more competitive nowadays... by FAR from the best? I would they they are close to the best. QC might be a problem but if this issue get fixed up, their stuffs should at least worth a try? Many manufacturers has moved their warehouse and production line to China. I am sure M.Levionson knows what he is doing. No offense guys, people has different experiences, different luck with Chinese made electonics. Some likes them, some don't. They are a growing teen and I sure will support them by giving their stuffs a few tries in my audition. =)

Just found a typo in the previous thread that I submitted within this thread on 03-20-04. Last sentence should say:

"I am sure M.Levinson has took care of this issue. He wouldn't be stupid enough to put something bad under his name."

Sorry if this has caused confusion. =)
