How international is your system?


I just realized that each of my components is from a different country (and they all seemingly get along fine!).

Wondering how international other people's systems are. Mine:

Scotland (turntable and cartridge)
Canada (phono pre)
England (CDP and tape deck)
New Zealand (integrated amp)
France (speakers)
Holland (ICs)
US (cables, cords)
128x128cpdunn99
All American except:
Cartridge - Japan
CDP - British
Tuner - British
Headphone Amp - British
Headphones - German

Preamp: American

Turntable: American
Speakers: American

Isolation Devices: American
Cartridge: Japan

It is fascinating that we all seem to have one or another bias.

My bias is not not a "conscious" factor in selection of gear but appears to lean heavily towards (North) American and English speaking with counterpoint from Germany and Japan.

If we started checking the countries of assembly of components and of origin of individual electronic parts, inside of our gear, I bet we would see heavy representation of Taiwan, China, Mexico.

I don't know where the receiver was made, but it seems to be third world!
