Do you mean these ? ... If so THEY ARE WHITE VAN CHINESE JUNK and not made by nor affiliated with the renowned German speaker/microphone manufacturer of the same name

Lol..https://ausavguide.com/2018/07/01/neumann-s-series/Someones selling them on gumtree for $300 with a no name projector.I thought it was suspicious. One section of that website says diamond dome tweeters and another section says beryllium tweeters.I was 99% sure it was a scam and 1% hopeful i had found the bargain of a lifetime.Rrp $5999 lol

Boston Acoustics, Rotel, Bose, Sony etc... White van junk has been around since the 80's.. It all started with a brand called Acculab Only the non hifi educated or gullible actually buy the stuff.

On aliexpress and dhgate you can buy fender and gibson replicas. The people making these guitars even give you the option of choosing a serial number. Its disgusting. Somewhere in china they have renamed either a city or suburb usa. So they now have a loophole to write made in usa on the guitars. Makes me angry thinking about it 1

Makes me angry thinking about it It's the flipside to manufacturers handing their intellectual property to the Chinese and then whinging about fakes showing up in the market. You can't have your cake and eat it too Solution: Manufacture the items in your own country, employ your own citizens, contribute to your own country's economy and protect your IP at the same time. But no the greedy corporate companies just want PROFITS $$$$$ The Chinese built a car that looked identical to a BMW X5, BMW spent millions of dollars suing said company and lost the case because the Chinese company had changed 1 curve on the body and the courts said it was therefore not identical to BMW's product.

Image and description indicated it was a pro quality pop-shield and when it arrived, it was home made using the ring from a sewing kit, a bit of stocking and some coathanger. I was not impressed.

anewmission Posted February 15, 2019 Author Posted February 15, 2019 One thing i have been liking on ebay at the moment is handmade interconnects from china. I bought some on a whim and they are fantastic. I jist ordered a usb cable from the chinese seller i have been using and he has seperated the ppwer line to go straight to a linear supply rather than getting power from the pc or streamer
