Are ANY amps made OUTSIDE of China?

ALL DLS amps are chinese made. Could you tell? Some of the best amps money can buy and excellent fit and finish.
All Arc Audio amps are made in Taiwan. QC'd there, and final QC'd for tolerances in the US. Solid, some of the best reliability around- great example of of excellent QC and bulletproof engineering(Rob Zeff).

Only Zapco amp supposedly still made in US is the C2K line. DC's and I-forces are made overseas, Reference questionable.

The new TRU Technology Billet amps are assembled in the US, one by one. They are made per order, and take several weeks before shipping out. They use some US high end parts that are added at the facility.

US Amps- Merlin/Ax have boards partially made overseas, final board additions and assembly done in the US.

Diamond- all amps made in China now. D3's(designed by Zeff) used to be made by ARPA of America with the Zapco stuff years ago.

Audison- made in Italy.

Sinfoni- handmade in Italy.

Brax-handmade in Germany.

Helix - Made in Germany

McIntosh amps- 100% made in the USA.

People .....'Made in the USA' and 'Assembled in the USA' are two diff things. 100% Made in the USA is a rarity. Alot of companies use overseas manufacturing for mainly the reduced cost of the PCB manufacturing.

yes great info! thx
