HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

Printed on the back of MUSICAL PARADISE MP-P1 TUBE PHONO STAGE: " Designed in Canada, Made in China"

I have absolutely no problem with this. Hegel should do the same, that’s all, it is called being upfront with manufacturing origin, and for some people, it matters and it’s their money being spent.

Now, faintly suggest that this Chinese-assembled Musical Paradise phono preamp mentionned above is made in Canada by just printing "Canada’’ on the back. And watch the 3X increase in the selling price.

Far from being a crusade. Simple marketing tactic.

This is the plain truth and is beyond arguing.

Everything has been said.

Hey,
Why not EVERYONE move their business to China?
BMW, Chevy and all GM and whole rest of motor city (almost there LOL), Caterpillar, Smith and Wesson, Krell, Pass Labs, Manley, whatever.
Slave labor is cheap so we can all have our products much cheaper and be much happier right?
Anyone has problems with that?
This thread seems like ignorance contest 

I do not buy gear (knowingly) that is made in china.

I have no issue buying a Chinese product but country of origin should not be a shell game. Any company that causes one to question where the product is made is being deceptive. And it's also apparent that a product saying "NORWAY" is trying to create artificial value by reason of it being presumptively made in Norway, and not somewhere else, whether it be China, etc. 

another problem I have to is I remember a magazine review where it talked about how they were able to keep costs down because of simple casework rather than their chinese origins.
