What is this affinity of audiophiles to know where the specifics of where and what type of people made their equipment? Why does that matter if the end product is of superb quality? Some manufacturers even go to the extent of hiding where their products are manufactured ie REL, Hegel hides their country of origin.
This is a question i asked the comments section of stereophile in their monitor audio review. They were actively discussing these speakers are no longer made in the UK. The way i see it realistically, you just say you want it made by white dudes come on…
I don’t care where it’s made. The end product and associated services are what matters.
The reason I usually try to buy stuff from first world nations are because the quality is usually here. You ain’t paying a factory worker 20+$/hr to make a shitty headphone.
If it’s a good quality product that’s still made in china for example, and the service is not in india (because good customer support in india doesn’t exist), then I’m fine with it.
