American made cartridge anyone?


Well, I am tired of reading about Japanese, German, Swiss, Danish cartridges. Why can't Americans make something for us as they can with amps, speakers, phono stages, cables, even turntables ( I prefer British, oops) ?
What seems to be the problem? Maybe we could help?

I am using a soundsmith boheme cartridge. I really enjoy it. They are produced in new york. give them a look.
How about Stanton/Pickering and Shure cartridges? I believe they are american. The Zu cartridges are modified Denon (japan) cartridges. How about Cardas I think they make a cartridge in the US - a very good one at that. I hope this helps u. shay
It seems the US has lost its touch for small fine hands on precision work like we used to do. After quartz watches came out, that seemed to help with the loss of hands on problem. And the US used to make a lot of those fine precision mechanical watches. Robots may be part of the reason too. Maybe its easier to make money doing something else here nowadays.
