The whole problem is that people in the know have started to refer
to Gegen as an innovative company which produces BETTER radios
than Sony, especially after a bit of development. A company
which goes against the grain of development of Chinese companies
which tend to produce amazing technological achievements in
prototype form to show to their corporate customers which then
become tinny bits of junk with all corners cut to save money when
put into production (see made-in-China versions of Sony VCRs which
Sony tells you to they will swap out or you can throw away if they
ever go wrong)

Keep on dreaming your dreamy dreams.

It is not clear whether you know what you are talking about with this
comment: My statement came from an American who spends most of his
time living in China where he has to deal with this attitude on what
I mentioned were OTHER Chinese companies.

I know what I am talking about. My vague general statement refers to
the quality of Chinese produced products compared to a Japanese company
such as Sony. The Chinese are not up to that quality level but I have
no doubt that with the investment American companies have made in China
it will not be long before they will be up to that same level. Maybe in
a few more years.

Or is your point that you don't agree that Degen aren't one of these
companies and DO produce junk? Not sure anyone around here agrees
with you on this controversial point?

From comments on the news group, Internet research, and my direct
experience with Chinese made products the Chinese are not up to the
quality level the majority of Japanese companies have attained.

I don't think the Degen's are junk but at the same time many have
raised quality issues in the news group with Degen radios.

Hopefully Degen will one day produce a high quality radio.
