Made in America

Right now I have a nearly All American system, but not because I'm particularly nationalistic about such things. I just seem to gravitate toward small companies that are accessible to me, for example I like being able to speak to the owner if necessary. And I have found some brands that I like.

I think it's great that we still have talented folks in these specialized small businesses that build things worth owning. However, maybe some of these companies build elsewhere... My current system:

Quicksilver amps (great customer service and these well-made amps will probably be collectible vintage pieces 40 yrs from now)
Audible Illusions preamp (slow service but worth it)
Silverline speakers (bought directly from Alan Yun, nice guy)
VPI turntable
Bottlehead phono preamp (cool company that has a very helpful and friendly DIY support group attached to it)
My only non USA piece of gear is my CD player

I have also owned and think highly of Vandersteen and have always liked vintage JBL

A little OT, but here is an interesting article about insourcing. I grew up in a blue-collar town in the midwest and this made me feel good. I recently purchased one of the high-efficiency heat pump hot water heaters described in the article (made in USA).
