VAC, Backert Labs are two I can think of at the moment.
Made in USA
I love to support USA products as much as I can. Even if it costs more. Id say 2nd choice Europe or Japan. Last place China.
So USA made HiFi products I have are... Magnepan, Odyssey, Geshelli, Rythmik, Schitt, Bluejean, Belden, Analog Productions( vinyl). Musichall & Monitor Audio (UK), Nagaoka, Magomi(Japan),
Other USA made HiFi I know of.. Kilpsch (high end speakers), Jeff Rowland, P.S. Audio, Emotiva?
Im sure there are more. Please continue list and lets support our own.

I would start with Audio Research, Pass, Magico, Conrad Johnson, VAC (as @tomcy6 mentioned). Boulder, Wilson… many of the most respected high end names are American.
I have to throw in Sonus Faber (Italy) and Koetsu (Japan). Dcs and Linn… the UK.
If you are putting together a cost effective high end system… you do not have to pay more… you are going to be buying primarily American, you do not have to pay more.

I try to buy US made. Amp, Preamp, Speakers, Turntable, made in USA. DAC , Greece, Tuner #1 Canada, Tuner #2 USA, Streamer, S Korea. Country of Origin has less to do with it than getting the best for the money, but generally speaking I avoid Made in China whenever possible. Blu-ray and Vault 2 are made in China but they are decent products but not on the same level as other gear in the system. |
