Yeah, things have to have a 'USA' name brand (even if it's made in China or Mexico) for you guys to buy...
What's so wrong with Yugoslavian gear? I've been to several sites and those guys *do* know their audio. Now it's a good time to buy because they're working on establishing a name for themselves in the audio market.
De Zorel is working at this time on closing a deal with a US importer. The guys at TNT Audio went on a frenzy about the DeZorel's. Even Hans-Martin (Germany) is buying one. But, they're from Europe--what do they know???
Try visiting (www.zero-distortion.com) for a new and fresh Hi Fi internet magazine--the Psychic's there...
As for line conditioners, I own a Tice. But the De Zorel audiophile model *is* on my upgrade list.
