My gear-
Amp/preamp - Parasound - Canada
Integrated amp - Line Magnetic Audio - China
Speakers - Magnepan - USA
Speakers (2nd system) - Vandersteen - USA

All the Herron gear was engineered in the U.S. That’s phono stage, pre, amps and the [modified] DAC (St. Louis)
Turntable and arms were engineered and manufactured in the U.S. (New Joysee)
Cartridges were engineered and manufactured in Japan
The Onkyo CD player (used as transport) was engineered in Japan
Speakers seem to be a global effort though the final assembly, cabinet and electronics were engineered in the U.S.
