CD player NOT made in China under $1,000?

how about bluenote that hand made in Italy ? Let me know if interest

I am amazed that the disappearance of any low and mid-range products made elsewhere has seemingly gone un-noticed.

What makes you think people haven't noticed? The loss of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. to overseas locations is extremely noticeable here in the mid-west.
As for your question though, if used is ok then go for a used Cary or Resolution Audio cdp. Extremely good pieces at used prices.
Although even with American or European assembled pieces, most of the parts are sourced from China.

get real. all the parts and sub-parts are made in China even in players 10K......

Pecinka nailed it, it isnt possible to keep China out of your equipment rack, buy whats best at your price point no matter where its made.

You're making a stink about cd players and China?

Have you looked at your television, cell phone, DVD recorder, digital camera, Blackberry, computer, remote control, router, etc. for country of origin?

Remember how people laughed at that funny looking little Honda automobile in the early 1970's?
