I am looking for a 2 Channel Stereo Audio Class D Amplifier Mini Hi-Fi Professional Digital Amp for Home Speakers 50W x 2 - V1.0G, that is made in the USA, not China.
I have a small man cave and a pair of good JBL bookshelf speakers, I’d like to find a good stereo amp that is made in the USA, everything I’m seeing is made in China. I’d consider a kit I have to assemble. Thanks in advance.
I have a pair of JBL studio monitors that are over 40 years old. Still great. 3-way with 12”
US made? Good luck.
Monitoring this thread for suggestions.
For amps I still use some 40 year old ones.
A Ramko, and a Revox A77 internal amp.
I know a unicorn that’s selling one.
Your best bet at this point is to go to dine estate sales and get the old stuff.
When it comes to electronics I include Japanese and German stuff because at least they are our allies.
Mine are two ways but they still rock. Best sound I’ve heard in years.
I can’t recommend Schiit products enough:
I use their Modi DAC for my gaming PC with a Vali amp to my Beyerdynamic DT770 headphones.
Their products and designed and made in the US in both Texas and California.
Look online for gear from decades ago. Stay in the analog world of course. MOS FET good, power transistors tend to saturate and die.
Don’t u worry about having to recap the old stuff
If you don’t yet have the speakers, consider JBL active reference speakers. 305/308.
I have an old Marantz 1030, circa 1974, that needs new caps.....................
There are plenty of amps made in the US, but they’re rather expensive. I’m partial to Van Alstine myself. They just came out with a new lower-price model, and everything is made in Minnesota.
Harmon Kardon used to be all USA made, but where bought in 2016 by Samsung, the Korean company.
I don’t know if they are all made in South Korea now, but they’re stuff was so good and older model might be a good investment.
All of my HK HIFI gear I bought in the 1970s and 80s, and they still work beautifully.
Agreed. The components in our stereo/HT are approximately 22 years old, and they were manufactured in Germany, France, Japan, and Canada (the latter company no longer in business).
I also have the Bose 901 speaker system, made in USA decades ago.
Actually, two companies in Canada. One is still in business.
That looks tasty. Thanks
