OK, Lugnut, mum's the word! |
I can't tell who made ANY of my gear or where it was made. All of the name tags and serial numbers have been removed. That must be the reason why i keep getting such good deals from the guy down at the local Pawn Shop... : ) Sean

Turntable and cartridge: U.S.
Tonearm: Great Britain

CD dual-tray player/recorder: Japan
Television: Japan
S-VHS video tape deck: Japan
Pre/pro and power amps: Canada

I found it interesting that the backbone of my system is American made & the sources are foreign.
Colorado-amp
California-speakers & pre
Cables-most were made (not DIY) 5 miles from here (Virginia), one from Texas, other DIY parts from Texas & Wisconsin.
The international entries are:
British CDP.
Japanese cassette & tuner |
