Best One Country System?

Charles...
Some good choices for an all American system. I was begining to wonder if anyone from the US would reply. I think there are several very good power conditioning producers in the US; Shunyata (Hydras), Audio Magic, and PS Audio are a few of the companies I can think of....

Charles -- Sony is japanese. But, methinks there are SO many choices for a TOP US system that filtering it down to ONE is very tricky, to say the least.

For example, alternative TT could be the big Rockport or TNT;
Riaa filter / pre could be Vendetta, Blowtorch, the old JC designed Levinsons, the Pass Aleph, Boulder...

Speakers are too numerous to mention -- but I think you can do (even/much) better than Wilson 7 (some are, Wilson MAxx, big Genesis, older Avalon... I'm missing many). What about legendary designs: Klipsch for example...

Amps: wyetech, Levinson (the models you list), Wolcott, Boulder... very many others.

As for power "conditioning" there's always the technician down the road to wind you a 60amp 1:1 tranny -- or similar. It's heavy but it works for most things!

OK, too many choices so I am sure other people would not agree with everything, but if I got to pick just what I wanted from Germany it would be:

- Transrotor Gravita Record Player
- Lindemann 820 CD/SACD
- Tidal Preos Preamp, Impact power amp
- Tidal Contriva Diacera (the Sunray is just too big)
- Racks from Finite Elemente or Copulare
- Burmester Power Conditioner
- Cables by HMS

Thinking about it, there would also be the small company "Horch" for a transport/DAC and pre/monoblock set.
Of course there are many other contenders, like Brinkmann for Record Player and amps etc...spoiled for choices really!

You're right...... Sony is Japanese..... I didn't know what I was thinking last night. I didn't catch the error until after I have printed the thread out and logged offline for the evening. But otherwise, the rest of the system is American.
