My Chinese/Maryland USA Jolida tube amp cost around 1/8th the price of the closest Carver, performs beautifully, and is VERY well made...and since the Chinese manufacturing cat is "way out of the bag" at this point (who made the computers we're typing this stuff on?), we should support U.S. companies who keep track of the Chinese factory working standards (if at all possible). Mike Allen's (Jolida founder) story is an interesting example of exactly that.
