HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

Mribob,

You stated, "I experienced a minor intermittent sound quality issue from one channel ...". It is interesting that you experienced a similar problem with your Hegel amp. Hegel stated to me they never had a similar problem with any of their amps. In your case, with a minor channel issue, they acknowledged the problem and stood behind their product. But, in my case, regarding a major issue of one channel conking, out they simply walked away choosing to blame my system for the problem.

This thread started out as a question about where Hegel equipment is made. I don't really see the relevancy of Hegel's customer service. Perhaps people who have had problems with customer service should start a separate thread?

Aolmrd1241,

The question remains whether or not Hegel will come out and state this publicly and whether or not they intend, in future, to state that their products are Made in China instead of simply stamping Norway on the back of each unit. Do not customers who pay a high price for their products have the right to know where they are made -- and for this to be stated by Hegel -- and not left to be discovered on an audio forum?

Zd542,

You stated, "I took Sabi [sic] at his word. I guess he could be lying." Of course, this could also apply to any posts on the forum.

This is the OP's thread. If he doesn't like where the discussion is going, its his job to step in and say so. He hasn't done that, so I don't see a problem.

Need I remind you that you're as guilty as anyone here of going off topic? It was you that brought racism up. And not only did you bring it up, you then proceeded to pick several of my statements apart and put them back together in a meaning that purposefully takes them out of context. I went over this in an early post if you care to read it.
