Made in America

A lot of my favorite gear I use is by American companies.

OHM, Bel Canto, Audio Research mainly. Logitech Squeezebox also (though theline was recently discontinued...grrrr).

I have two mhdt DACs made by some guy in the far east that are real giant killers though.

I also am fond of the British products I use: DNM Reson ICs, Linn turntable.

Dynaudios from Denmark are gold standard speaker designs IMHO.

LEts not forget France, Triangle speakers can be very good values if you can find them in the US these days.

And of course, from Japan, the DEnon DL103R cart, another giant killer.

I prefer to buy American of course, but I think one would be ill advised to not accept the trend towards a more global economy and America's evolving (yet still predominant) place within it. It is happening faster than ever and will hopefully be a good thing for all in the long run, though many will feel the pains of transition in the interim.
