I must say,
After reading about 50 posts by PLUSH, on this and other threads, I am beginning to wonder the real reason behind him adamantly HATING anything chinese.
Maybe he asked some chinese dude out on a date, and the guy turned him down and he is taking his rejection out on the whole damn country.
And PLUSH, in regards to your "murderers in Tibet" comment, its a good thing those Neumann mics, and Studer recorders you love so much were made in a country that never committed any crimes against humanity.
