Made in USA


I love to support USA products as much as I can. Even if it costs more. Id say 2nd choice Europe or Japan. Last place China.

So USA made HiFi products I have are... Magnepan, Odyssey, Geshelli, Rythmik, Schitt, Bluejean, Belden, Analog Productions( vinyl). Musichall & Monitor Audio (UK), Nagaoka, Magomi(Japan), 

Other USA made HiFi I know of.. Kilpsch (high end speakers), Jeff Rowland, P.S. Audio, Emotiva?

Im sure there are more. Please continue list and lets support our own.

An example that "Stockholm effect" is a thing.

The west has an exceptional historical track record of treating its labor force equitably. Its record on those with different shades of skin pigmentation has been pretty poor as well.

 

To those who think Chinese built goods are poorly made, I seem to recall South Korea and Japan had a similar reputation...until they didn’t. The world is pretty small, free market capital flows where it flows.

Take it easy on @dodgealum because its never been in fashion for educators to present opposite sides of a given topic. Many here are old enough to have had to go search elsewhere to read Darwin, to learn about Wounded Knee, Kent State, let alone to get the truth about slavery, American exceptionalism or manifest destiny.

Does Mexico make any audio equipment?

Margules is well thought of and well reviewed.

Let’s say there are 10 guys in a bar and the "average" income of them is $40K/yr. Then someone like Bill Gates walks into the bar and has a drink with them. The average pay of those guys would be in the multiples of millions no matter if you use mean, median or mode.

No offense intended but in your example, you are only correct that the mean(average) would skew radically higher because of the presence of Bill Gates in the sample data set. The median, however, is the middlemost number so for the pre-Gates data set that that would have been the #5 placeholder. The mode(the most frequently occurring number in the data set) would remain unchanged.

Ah…no I don’t but the reviews seem quite positive … more importantly, several of their dealers do a fine job of curating what they sell. Be well.
