Never thought I was "buy US" biased until I read this thread... The US is the source of the overwhelming majority of my gear--6 amps, 2 pre's, 1 pre/pro, 2 DACs, a phono stage, TT & arm, CD/DVD, 2 sets of speakers, 3 power filters, and all ICs and speaker cables. Got two sets of UK speakers, one Japanese cartrige, one Japanese CD/DVD, and some Italian audio racks. Suddenly feel very red white and blue, notwithstanding that I'm 1/2 Japanese and 1/2 mutt.
(Dimitrydr, I hope you are talking about Shun cutlery, that stuff is phenomenal).
