Do you think Nordost and the like aren't made in China too (just like iphones)?
Nordost was founded in Massachusetts in 1991. Nordost manufactures audio cables, power distribution systems, grounding systems and resonance control devices. All Nordost cables use a flexible
FEP insulation originally developed by
DuPont. Nordost products are manufactured in the USA.
Nordost Corporation is an American
high-end audio company founded in 1991 by Joe Reynolds, Vincent Garino, and Jeffrey Garino and based in
Holliston, Massachusetts. Nordost manufactures and sells audio and video
cables,
interconnects and audio accessories. Its products are distributed in 72 countries.
(Not saying that I would buy them (because I do not see a point [once physical quality, strain reliefs, etc] and aesthetics {up to my idea of them}) have been met, se no point in spending high amounts on interconnects, speaker cables, etc..
On the other hand, I do believe that you will never get what yo don't pay for. So I will spend a bit more for what I deem to be 'good quality' interconnects & cables.
