What country builds the best audio equipment?

I remember not so long ago when audio equipment was mainly a home grown product with the exception of Japan here in the U.S. Today it’s a global market with competition from every corner of the world. I use to think here in the U.S was were the best equipment was being built, but now I’m not sure.
Built quality and performance seems to be lacking a little here in the states with few exceptions compared to what’s being produced over seas and up to the north. So what country is the best equipment coming from? Maybe it’s still the U.S, but if pure aesthetics says anything I would say not.
As for Sonics tough to call, maybe still here in the U.S?

What country is free from corona?......we all all humans. Are countries even real?  Have you ever stood on a border?  It is just a piece of earth.  We don't own any of this.  In our oneness there is just us.....just Love.

Excellence and craftsmanship and beauty is where you find it....it can be from anywhere.  It is all inside us all.....we are all beautiful....spread the joy and love everywhere.....needed these days especially.....but ALL WAYS needed.

No country has the monopoly on the best quality equipment.

I’m a huge fan of MBL from the Germans but love Accuphase from our Japanese friends as well. I have a pair of Soltanus Acoustics Virtuoso ESL’s from Serbia and they are amazing! I think most countries have certain components that would be best in many systems.

Best transistor equipment is in most cases European. Best tube equipment is made in quite a few countries, same with speakers. Turntables. I prefer British within reasonable price range, above that can be almost anywhere.
