Patty got a look at the reciept and declared them sunday go to meeting shorts.
I usually buy Dickies at Orchard Supply. I was farting around the Army Navy store on a lunch break and saw 'em. So I splurged for once.

I heard a factory in Smithville, TN got a contract supplying Military clothing but can't remember if they gave a starting date. Any news of more USA made products is good to hear.

Today I turned on my JuicyMusic Audio Blueberry preamp(made in California,) my NOSValves VRD amps(made in Michigan,) threw a record on my vintage Rek-O-Kut turntable(New York, New York,) with Shure RSC7 cartridge(Chicago, IL,) and listened to the tunes through my Klipsch(Hope, AK,) Thiel(Lexington KY,) and Altec(Anaheim, CA) speakers. Nothing wrong at all with American stereo gear.

Nice system Dave. Most of my stuff is also made in the USA. Magnavox 150s, JBL, Adcom, Vandersteen, Altec 604E, DCM.
I'm sure that some parts, (caps, tubes and such) are of foreign make but that's alright by me.

Well.......I built my speakers with the Zilchlab "Econowave" x-over and HF driver. I also built my passive pre--a Harry Haller design. And my amp is a Magnavox 9302. So, I guess you can say that much is American made.
But, the phono pre is a Pro-Ject-- Austria,
The Turntable is a Pro-Ject--Czech Republic,
Cartridge is a ClearAudio-- Germany,
Tape deck is a Revox-- Germany,
Tuner is a Magnum Dynalab-- Canada
I do have American speakers in the bedroom---ADS L710, driven by Luxman electronics-- Japan.

Oops, most of my systems are Yamaha based but as all of it arrived here in non-working condition I can say that it all was re-built in America.

This last snowfall convinced me that I needed some new boots, so I picked up a pair of Red Wings, well-made in America, and a three pack of American-made wool socks to go underneath. In size 13, they look like a small truck.

Good D-ray keep your feet worm and other americans as well. I was just talking to Bulestreak last night about buying US goods. If everyone can pull together on this the US consumer will have the power to lift the economy.
Thread bookmarked, I'll add some things I learned to look for tonight.

Since I gave away my Fisher 440T I do not have any American gear in stereo systems except for various speakers.
My Chinese made Event Studio Monitor 20/20s sound better than my American made Legacy and Altec Lansing Santana II speakers that is for sure.
