Made in USA


I love to support USA products as much as I can. Even if it costs more. Id say 2nd choice Europe or Japan. Last place China.

So USA made HiFi products I have are... Magnepan, Odyssey, Geshelli, Rythmik, Schitt, Bluejean, Belden, Analog Productions( vinyl). Musichall & Monitor Audio (UK), Nagaoka, Magomi(Japan), 

Other USA made HiFi I know of.. Kilpsch (high end speakers), Jeff Rowland, P.S. Audio, Emotiva?

Im sure there are more. Please continue list and lets support our own.

All true.. globalization is a fact and I doubt that anyone really believes that all components within their amplifiers come from the country of origin declared on the box. Buy American is an imperfect notion. I don’t believe it is so much jingoistic as it is a suggestion to support employment for your neighbor.

Regarding Chinese hate…. I don’t believe that rational individuals hate Chinese. The anti-Chinese is mostly anti-CCP. Do we make a distinction between Apple and Huawei? I do…. In the past I avoided Huawei phones.  I sure hope that Apple proves to be a better employer upon moving operations to India.  I don’t view my purchase of Holo equipment any different than the purchase of Audionet, or MSL. That said, if purchasing today, I would have given the PS Audio Perfectwave DAC II a try, rather than ordering a Holo May DAC. Again, an imperfect choice. PS Audio has postponed their Airlens launch and I believe it is due to inability to source components and as mentioned above, it is doubtful that the components are US sourced.

I want my local business community to thrive, so I choose to dine at restaurants in my small town. Does this mean that I don’t eat elsewhere…no.

besides where it's made, there is where it's designed, where it's owned, where it pays taxes/avoids to pay taxes, where patents are owned, where the parts are made, where the source of the parts are mined, etc.

Being from a country that has sunk to the "assembly country" level from the highest Noble prizes per capita era,  I feel it yields much better dividends to invent, design and own products than to lego them together while your eyes are falling out. (and yes I know little about the manufacturing process)   

Also quantity-wise, the brands of 98% of audio products sold today are never mentioned in this forum. I doubt they are made anywhere outside southeast Asia

If I lean to buying US, it's only because I know that the cost of international shipping is not baked into the price. But I've got no problem buying from anywhere if it's something I would want, like my Holo May DAC. 

My equipments are mostly made in Canada 🇨🇦
