2/3 of my gear is from good ol’ US companies, mostly Audio Research and Bel Canto in Minnesota and OHM in Brooklyn, but I fear most of the parts even for those come from China and perhaps even Mexico.

I am enjoying this one immensely for its civility and information but see the offended  crowd emerging. Before it turns into a circus, let's just put this to bed. I enjoyed keeping up with this thread but it's being hijacked.

Admin has already chimed in with a "Thou Shalt not Disparage the Trump" dictum lest one incur counter measures. I guess praising him is okay.
