HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
jetter,You're welcome. I feel the same way you do. Without good customer service where do we stand in high end audio? There are a lot of top companies who give exemplary service, and I have mentioned a few that I particularly like. Once you have d... 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
jetter,I was calmly relating the details of a defective Hegel amplifier to a top Hegel executive over the phone -- asking that they look into the matter for me. He became explosively angry yelling "that’s bulls**t" and then hung up on me. That’s w... 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
rbstehno,Full disclosure. I have no connection whatsoever with any audio company except as a customer. The only points I have been trying to make are that Hegel has unnecessarily mislead their customers and prospective customers -- and that being ... 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
Having been insulted (unprovoked) by top people at Hegel Headquarters, after paying full price for their product, I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that there is something very strange going on at Hegel. I think the underlying problem wi... 
DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND
dragon_vibe,I agree with you that US patriotism -- in fact any patriotism -- is just plain silly. It can also be very dangerous.

randy-11,Robots are the wave of the future and China is a world leader. The use of robots may actually keep the cost of labor down, which is why they are proliferating.schubert,I agree. Greed is omnipresent. 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND
dragon_vibe,I have also been scammed by more sellers and buyers from the US than from any other country. But this does not prevent me from doing business with the US. It all comes down to honest people and dishonest people. It's the luck of the dr... 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
nycjlee,Regarding the China issue, it is true that China still makes some shoddy products. But, as has been noted, this is changing. And they are making great advances in developing and producing many high tech products in emerging industries. Thi... 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
dragon_vibe,There have indeed been big changes in Asia and this will continue for decades. I remember after WWII when made in Japan meant cheaply made. Regarding Chinese production, in recent decades you can see the movement toward more and more w... 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
There are a lot of good quality products made in China. This is not the issue. The issue is being honest with customers. This is the corporate character flaw I see with Hegel -- their refusal to be honest with their customers. I saw this in my ext...

randy-11They simply say Hegel - Oslo - Norway. 
HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?
I see that Hegel is still putting Norway on the rear of their new products -- proud of their heritage -- while not bothering to let their customers know the truth ... that they are in fact not made in Norway but in China. After it became clear yea... 
Speaker Cable Suggestions
randy-11,It is hard to get overcharged for silver if you do a comparison of the sellers on Ebay. Compared to the prices charged by the manufacturers of most silver cables, the cost of making your own silver speaker wires is very reasonable. 
DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND
talk2me,The OP is entitled "DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND". And now you claim "I am not saying anything against the great country of Thailand". Does anyone notice the contradiction?
