Best you could hope for is "assembled in USA." I believe all of the CD transport mechanisms are manufactured by Sony, Phillips, Teac and other large companies. To my knowledge, none of these guys build a CD transport in the USA.

You can find used examples for around a grand. I use a model two plus and it's remained a standard for me as a Redbook player for many years. Tried a model nine, but actually preferred the two plus. That's not to say their newer DACs may be superior (the Nine is an standalone player). Marco
