My linestage and amplifier are custom made by a one-person operation in Italy, but he uses primarily vintage parts made in the USA (including Western Electric caps and transformers). My streamer/DAC is made in England, my headphone and phono cartridges are Japanese-made, the headphone amp/energizer is US made, the turntable/tonearm/vacuum clamp/motor controller are US-made, my phono stage is Italian as are most of my speaker (the midrange horn/compression drivers are US Western Electric parts). My power conditions are made by an English company (don't know where they are built), and I have no idea about the manufacturing source of my cabling. All of my tubes are vintage US and German tubes. |
@bikefi10 It's been mentioned but I'll say it again. Your statement should be "I like to buy things assembled in the USA". Like it or not, we are living in a global economy. Take a look inside any amp and tell me where all the parts were actually made. It's why countries sign Free Trade Agreements. As an aside, we wouldn't be able to affort most of the equipment we enjoy today if it had actually been 100% made and assembled in the USA. And for all the China haters out there, I suppose the irony is lost on those who typed out the messge on their I-Phone 🤣 |

The discount on a B&W 702 Signature is $2500 a pair, what discount will Magnepan offer when the 3.7i is replaced? |
