Made In China

The best products  for a small country is Denmark they make a lot of great products 

Germany also , North America too is very good .  Products from Taiwan ,and Hong Kong  are the  pretty sound . Several big cable companies have some of their connectors made in Taiwan by their standards . Schiit uses some parts from China inside on a few components. ,I have owned their dacs , the freya + the vast majority is U.S or Europe ,a few parts from China 

to say made in U.SA I believe as long as over 50 % parts and assembled here then it can be called.  That.  Your budget too will dictate a lot of this . Many Loudspeaker drivers that are pretty decent are made in Taiwan, Malaysia ,Parasound made in Taiwan . I opened up a friends McIntosh to recommend parts for rebuilding .

they were owned by a Audiophile then sold out to a corporation , parts quality for sure should be higher in some areas.when corporations buy them it’s all about cost savings and production  , sad but true . The pricing  is getting way outof control during coved now prices25% higher . Now it’s more an investment.  You have to save for . That’s the way it is .

I peesonally try to keep my money close to home. North America.  Canada makes some really good products.  It seems that most gear made in the US is out of my price range.  Schiit exclueded. Canada offers the Anthem and Paradigm brands, which i own and really like, at relatively moderate prices for their mid level gear. For the money that was the best i could afford of the North American companies. My sub is a rel.  Yes china made but they are just good at what they do and its what Im familiar with.  Im not ruling out an American made sub in the future but i think rel is hard to beet in the world of subs. 

is this where we sign up for the whack-a-mole tournament?
