As Backertlabs has just said, there is no law requiring any audio manufacturer, distributor or retailer to post, advertise or otherwise communicate where the components of the product are designed, manufactured or assembled.
Audiophiles must now rely on their own ears to tell them whether they like the product. God forbid that anyone is not able to do that and be (wo)man enough to admit to being clueless as to determining the quality of the product without knowing its origins.
With repeated posts like the above, can anyone doubt why there is a reluctance to state the origins of audio products. I wouldn't. From the designer, manufacturer, distributor or retailer's point-of-view, it would be a nightmare to be dragged down by any of these relentless posters into arguing about the origins of their audio product rather than how well it would serve the buyers' needs.
