High end cartridge made in USA?

What about DV? I have a DV phono pre and that is made in New Zealand.

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.

Why not ? Same reason little is made in USA, average American sees little
point is working for 50 cents an hour.

True for a lot of
things these days, but the manufacture of moving coil carts in the US never
got much of a foothold, even when the US made lots and lots of cartridges.
In the '70s we had Shure, Stanton, Pickering, Grado, Empire, Weathers, etc.,
but none of them made MC carts.

I was working at an audio store in 1975 when stereo moving coil carts first
showed up on our radar: it was a Fidelity Research LOMC made in Japan. I
think the countries of origin had more to do with local market preference:
Ortofon invented the moving coil cartridge a long time ago, so the concept
probably had a foothold in Europe that never took off in the US because the
market here liked things simple, plug'n'play with no step-up transformer to
complicate things. Japan has always had a very active tweak'n'mod cottage
industry and market for it.

BTW, AFAIK, desirable moving coil cartridges are not made in Indonesia and
China, they're made in Japan, Denmark, UK, and Germany where the labor
rates tend to be as high or higher than in the US.
