Now they've moved the "poorly made cheap garbage" off-shore and make the 'good stuff' at home. Think Marantz & Denon may still be made in the home country, as well.
Too bad about some, like Yamaha. While I haven't looked in a couple of years, a little judicious on-line shopping would show several resellers offering Yamaha's TOTL CDPs & integrated amps that had been repaired under warranty available at excellent pricing.
Plus, this is the "Japanese Exotica" forum. To me, that means "Made in Japan".
