I often see the use of the term "Chi Fi" to describe audio products from China. I see the intention and don't think anyone is trying to be racist and what have you. Still, I like us to show the highest respect to products from around the world. As avid readers of this forum know, China-designed products currently top our rankings in performance due to their strong adoption of objective measurements to improve their designs. I think the least we can do is avoid using terms like Chi-fi which may seem derogatory to them. Remember, the test of whether a term is denigrating to another is how the other party feels, not how the person who delivers it does!

Thanks.
