Taters you are like a navel gazing factory my man! But as always, as with most of your posts, it depends. Some domestic manufacturers offer great service and some don't. Ditto imports and it can certainly equalize things when an imported product as a legit and responsible US importer. Another plus is to have gear, usually tubes fit this bill best, that uses simple circuits, and widely available parts, gear like that is super easy to fix if it ever breaks down. As they always say though YMMV.
Why I prefer gear that is made domestically
I find you have a better chance of getting parts and service if you buy a domestic product. Sure some domestic companies go out of business but nothing is full proof. If I need a part for my VPI turntable or ARC electronics I can usually get them within a week. When I had Dynaudio speakers I blew out a driver and had to wait 3 months to get one from Denmark. Since I didn't have another speaker at the time it made it inconvenient for me. No knock on Dynaudio. I really like their speakers. But if I had domestically made speaker I most likely could of got a part within a couple of weeks.
