Is the V.P.I. Traveler made in China

Kiddman: I don't know enough about manufacturing tolerances to determine if VPIs are good or not in this regard. They look like it to me, but I am not an engineer. I also can't tell you if Harry and Mat Weisfeld were lying to me when they said that they sourced their parts from mostly local machine shops. But what I saw and heard, I saw and heard first hand, and I stand by those observations. They did not claim that the parts were machined from US-mined metals and US-made plastics from US-produced oil from US-drilled oil wells. There is no end to the niggling one can do in this regard. But I would think that the "made in USA" label on a VPI 'table is more accurate than the same label on a Ford Focus, when you look at the parts sources.

Some people have nothing constructive to do with their time but to bad mouth a company that deserves their success....in providing the high end audio community with value and support of the highest calibre.

When you put yourself out in the public, either by designs, or your acting, or sports activities, you are subject to speculation, derision, adulation, criticism, suggestions, and others human actions. Folks are passionate about their audio, for sure, and very, very, very concerned with minutia, it's the way it is. For some folks, that's the big part of the hobby!

The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.
