There are many brands that I never heard of before joining ASR that shattered the ceiling of SINAD rankings. Is that important to enjoying music? Again I leave that for you, the ASR reader to decide.
Lots of threads on that!
The tick box I would have ticked is:
Does the product perform a task better than what I am using at a price I am willing to pay, and has it been used enough by enough people to rule out early mortality problems.
It has probably been pointed out already but gear from Lynx, Genelec, Apogee, Apple, RND, Tascam, SSL, Elysia, Lindell is full of Chinese parts and components, if not entirely manufactured there.
No beef to the OP, but it is kind of click bait.
I remember my friend walking into my fathers lab in the 90's, he glanced a heat sink with TO-220 packaged Mosfets from international rectifier and he scoffed because each package said Mexico on it.
