A most humble thanks jdandy and it is VERY interesting to see many original designs and the care they take in designing, building and testing products that rival many efforts i have seen in high-end audio all around th world (USA, England, Italy, etc) over the years. Later today i will be taking the high-speed train to a visit a vacuum tube manufacturing facility (it is 3:50am here right now). Hope to get that report online ASAP.

Thanks Two Dot and just wait as there are four or so more factories to cover in the coming days. As a side note, many probably do not realize it yet am working VERY long hours as it is 4:30am here right now.

All work and no play make Steven... a workaholic.

Enjoying the Music (No Doubt cover of "It's My Life" right now),

If you have time, go have Peking duck at 1949. Beats Quanjude anyday!

Will you be visiting Hong Kong's audiophiles as well on this trip?

Steve,
Xie xie for the report. My wife's a native Beijinger, and next time we go back I want to check out Opera/Consonance. Have heard some great things about their gear.
Paul
