What country builds the best audio equipment?

The ol "best" question.
Should be interesting to read what is "best"
What does "best" even mean?

Best --

Subjective sound quality (or objective/measured sound quality if you’re that type).

Reliability.


Ease of use coupled with the ability to cohabit/grow with the changes you’ll inevitably make with the rest of your system.

Not sure it matters much. As long as robust manufacturing is involved, the end result really comes down to the engineer or engineering team.
In my system I have a power amp from Italy (Aloia), preamp from Scotland (Linn), phono preamp from the UK (Whest), conditioners from Japan (Acoustic Revive), transformer from USA (ExactPower), Sub from Canada (REL), speakers from USA (Wilson), DAC from USA (Audio Alchemy), transport from USA (Woo Audio), turntable from my basement (USA), power cables & interconnects from the Netherlands (Siltech), Japan (Acoustic Revive), USA (Jena Labs, JPS Labs, Cardas). It’s like the United Nations of stereo equipment, except they get along well with each other.

What country is free from corona?......we all all humans. Are countries even real?  Have you ever stood on a border?  It is just a piece of earth.  We don't own any of this.  In our oneness there is just us.....just Love.

Excellence and craftsmanship and beauty is where you find it....it can be from anywhere.  It is all inside us all.....we are all beautiful....spread the joy and love everywhere.....needed these days especially.....but ALL WAYS needed.

No country has the monopoly on the best quality equipment.
