High end cartridge made in USA?


Anyone know of a high end a'phile MC cartridge that is made in the USA? or for that matter in the UK or anywhere else besides Japan, Holland and maybe Switzerland. Is Clearaudio still made in Germany?
Does the US and the UK not have the manufacturing ability to make quality low output MC's? If so, why are they not?

The OP implies that the only high end worthy cartridges are moving coils, which is false. Grado makes several high end cartridges that are not moving coil designs."

It looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the binding posts today. Where is this implication you're talking about?
Yeah, very low output MI designed for MC phono stage - very interesting., Same with Soundsmith Sussurro Paua with output of 0.3 mV
I'm curious how those low output MI sound with MC phono stages.

As opposite to this Some people use high output MC with MM preamps but when i tried it with my Argent MC500HS i didn't like it at all (it lost all the magic). It's much better with MC stage.
Where is/was Stanton made?
I wonder why the domestic production is so important in this truly small market. Yes indeed Grado is made in Brooklyn NYC.
