All the Herron gear was engineered in the U.S. That’s phono stage, pre, amps and the [modified] DAC (St. Louis)
Turntable and arms were engineered and manufactured in the U.S. (New Joysee)
Cartridges were engineered and manufactured in Japan
The Onkyo CD player (used as transport) was engineered in Japan
Speakers seem to be a global effort though the final assembly, cabinet and electronics were engineered in the U.S.
