American Made Audio Unveils New Site For Made in USA Components


American Made Audio - Sharing my new site dedicated to companies that manufacture in the United States - both Made in America and Assembled in America.

Well over 100 companies in the United States manufacture some of the best equipment for audiophiles and cinephiles in the world. But until now there was no one place on the web to find American audio brands.

The main feature of American Made Audio is “The List” – a master listing of all companies that manufacture relevant products in the United States, shown alphabetically. Additional pages show manufacturers by product type, such as amplifiers, speakers, turntables, cables, audiophile music labels, and more, letting customers easily find brands that manufacture in America.

@acastos Which Polk products are assembled in the USA? @geoffkait  Are any Oppo products assembled in the USA? I've been to their HQ in northern California, and it looked like design and marketing only. They don't claim to make anything here.

Madrigal Labs isn't anymore Mark Levinson.

 This article can help you understand what kinds of claims a company can make.

There are five types of claims that the FTC recognizes:

- Made in USA (Expressed or Implied)
- Made in USA (Qualified: e.g. "of imported parts")
- Assembled in USA (Unqualified)
- U.S. origin claims for specific processes or parts
- Comparative Claims

There are very few true "Made in USA" products because that requires that "all or virtually all" of the components be sourced from the USA. There are many more that are "Made in USA of imported parts" and several that are "Assembled in USA.
