HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

One of the stigmas about "made in China" is whether the business in China that assembles the unit actually in-fact installs the quality parts designated by the original equipment designer, e.g. the Chinese baby formula manufacturer that substituted ingredients to lower costs... killing thousands of babies.

Raks,

I agree. I recently had a Hegel amp that had a design flaw on the one hand -- and Hegel stonewalling me on the other hand. Who the heck knows what the story was on the production side? At least if they made it clear about Made in China instead of just stamping Norway on the back everyone could make a clear choice. This is where the deception lies.

If one would do the r-e-s-e-a-r-c-h necessary to make a adequate buying decision based on needs and wants, then this whole post on 'made in China' would be moot.

If you bought a Chinese made product under the 'assumption' that it was made in [insert your country of origin here] then... shame on you.

Google is your friend people... Or at least a phone call to the manufacturer in question.
