Players made in U.S.A.?

All Cary players are made in Asia. (I used to owned 306/200)

There are NO cd players entirely built in the United States. All players rely on transports and navigation software that is made overseas.

Hearing the Cary players are made in Asia is disheartening.

I checked on my Granite, and did not see a "Made in" anywhere on the player, interestingly enough. Still, I believe that all Granite equipment is made in Arizona, but I could be wrong. Nevertheless, the 650 is a wonderful player that meets your budget, so I still recommend it. I was listening last night to the player in 650 (solid state) and 657 (tube) modes, and in 650 mode, the player is extraordinarily weighty, dynamic, and punchy in the bass and smooth in the midrange and treble. Tube mode seems to not have the bass oomph, but adds some sparkle and shimmer to the midrange and treble.

I compared the Granite 650 and the Jolida JD100 back to back and bought the Jolida. They were rather similar but the Jolida had a more open and detailed sound which I thought gave a nicer presentation. I didn't get to hear the 657.

However, the Jolida is made in China and the back panel sticker says "Designed and Engineered in the USA" which I thought was funny.

Why is the question that begs to be answered here. You can't mean that you "Buy American"??????
