American Made Audio Unveils New Site For Made in USA Components


American Made Audio - Sharing my new site dedicated to companies that manufacture in the United States - both Made in America and Assembled in America.

Well over 100 companies in the United States manufacture some of the best equipment for audiophiles and cinephiles in the world. But until now there was no one place on the web to find American audio brands.

The main feature of American Made Audio is “The List” – a master listing of all companies that manufacture relevant products in the United States, shown alphabetically. Additional pages show manufacturers by product type, such as amplifiers, speakers, turntables, cables, audiophile music labels, and more, letting customers easily find brands that manufacture in America.

It's become apparent to me that audio companies aren't always 100% up to speed with "Made in USA" claims. So I took a deep dive into what "Made in USA" or "Assembled in USA" really means and when you can say it. It's not a short answer, but I think the issues become pretty clear. The results make me admire companies who create "Made in USA" products even more than I did before, and more appreciative of those who designate their products as "Assembled in USA." For details, see the article I just wrote on this: http://americanmadeaudio.com/2016/06/25/made-usa-standard-guidelines-audio-equipment-manufacturers-c...
What’s needed next is a series of Hi-Fi Shows, organized by a Board representing all the U.S. Hi-Fi companies, displaying and demonstrating the products of the companies. It could also serve as a replacement for the Las Vegas CES for the U.S. companies (see the Editorial in this months Stereophile).
@bdp24  That is an amazing idea. 

I will say that I went to Newport expecting it to be easy to cover American brands. When I started, I was only aware of about 90. I now have over 150 on my list.... but per my post above, I do think I have a fair bit of culling or organizing to do to identify companies within "Made in USA" and "Assembled in USA" and... well, other. 

An interim step might be to have certain rooms at all the popular shows certified as "American Made Audio" rooms.

There are fabulous products manufactured all over the world.  Isn't SQ the most important factor purchasing an AUDIO product?    Have fun compiling the list.
