I feel relieved when I purchase a product and find it was made in Taiwan and not China.
For the money, Japan produced some great recievers during the 60-80's. I still use a Pioneer reciever built 1979 with no issues. I had, up till 2 years back, had a Sansui AU1100 that finally gave me some problems. It took 29 years for a problem to surface .
Japan was not making best the recievers in the 60-80's, they were making a good product at a reduced price.
I don't see that in "Made in China".
