Best One Country System?

Damned........ Hit the wrong button....

As I was saying, I was putting together the best system to come out of the USA.

And that system will consist of:

Speaker System -- Wilson Watt/Puppy 7

Amplification -- Mark Levinson No. 33H (Power) and No. 32 (Control)

CD Playback -- Sony SCD-1 (SACD Playback) and Wadia 270se CD Transport + 27ix Decoding Computer (Redbook Playback)

LP Playback -- VPI HRX Belt-Drive Turntable w/JMW 12.6 Tone Arm and SDS System + Aesthetix/Rhea Phono Stage + Grado Labs Statement Cartridge

Cables -- MIT Oracle

Power Conditioning -- Couldn't find any worth owning made in the USA (unless I am completely off base here).

Or, if I am going to pick the BEST one country female vocal artist, I would love to have Faith Hill's voice oozing out of THIS system. The system is as beautiful and as American as Faith Hill herself.

Charles...
Some good choices for an all American system. I was begining to wonder if anyone from the US would reply. I think there are several very good power conditioning producers in the US; Shunyata (Hydras), Audio Magic, and PS Audio are a few of the companies I can think of....

Charles -- Sony is japanese. But, methinks there are SO many choices for a TOP US system that filtering it down to ONE is very tricky, to say the least.

For example, alternative TT could be the big Rockport or TNT;
Riaa filter / pre could be Vendetta, Blowtorch, the old JC designed Levinsons, the Pass Aleph, Boulder...

Speakers are too numerous to mention -- but I think you can do (even/much) better than Wilson 7 (some are, Wilson MAxx, big Genesis, older Avalon... I'm missing many). What about legendary designs: Klipsch for example...

Amps: wyetech, Levinson (the models you list), Wolcott, Boulder... very many others.

As for power "conditioning" there's always the technician down the road to wind you a 60amp 1:1 tranny -- or similar. It's heavy but it works for most things!
Cheers:)

OK, too many choices so I am sure other people would not agree with everything, but if I got to pick just what I wanted from Germany it would be:

- Transrotor Gravita Record Player
- Lindemann 820 CD/SACD
- Tidal Preos Preamp, Impact power amp
- Tidal Contriva Diacera (the Sunray is just too big)
- Racks from Finite Elemente or Copulare
- Burmester Power Conditioner
- Cables by HMS

Thinking about it, there would also be the small company "Horch" for a transport/DAC and pre/monoblock set.
Of course there are many other contenders, like Brinkmann for Record Player and amps etc...spoiled for choices really!

You're right...... Sony is Japanese..... I didn't know what I was thinking last night. I didn't catch the error until after I have printed the thread out and logged offline for the evening. But otherwise, the rest of the system is American.
