I'm looking for a new amplification for my audio system. In the market exist's many options, but some options are very bad. Are bad and poor for many reasons, the sound sometimes have a many cholesterol, and the music essence are very poor also. Another reason for this obviously, are in these equipmnts are Made in China .
I d'ont like China manufacture, sorry, and in these days it's not easy find equipment manufactured totally or parcially in origin countries, but exist's some exceptions, but these execeptions are in sometimes expensive, but doens't matter, the important is the quality.
I know in the global world are many manufactures build the products in origin countries, and in England for exemple exist's many manufactures build in their factories.
I need community GSP help for amplification sugestions, and options. I like very mutch the British Audio, all my audio equipmnt are Made In England at the moment, and i'm still looking to complete finally my system. Naim have a nice integrated amplifiers at the a good price and are manufactured in U.K ( it's very important for me for my final decison, like the sound quality obviously ); Rega also a good option, but i like much turntables and cd player, amplification..., Sugden is another good option but is very expensive.
I wait your sugestions
Kind regards
Fernando

What's your budget?
It's sad to say that except for some notable exceptions a lot of British HiFi is made elsewhere and only the expensive stuff is made here. Exceptions to this are Rega, MF, sugden, Cyrus and Meridian. There are a couple of small companies that still build in house but people like Creek, Cambridge and Arcam have some or all their gear made in China. |

Hi,
Yes indeed. Unfortunately remarcable and historic British manufactures, the ''old'' and remarcable Cambridge, Arcam no more Made in Great Britain.
Today this equipment are Designed in U.K, but the essential and crucial are assembled totally in China, for me is a completly madness, it's not the same anyway.
A few months ago a read in magazine HiFi Choice , or HiFi News a big article about the British Audio equipmnt Made in China, i'm not sure but was write by Paul Messenger, and she saids the some company are thinking return your manufacturer all origin countries.
Please see, in the April number publication HiFi Choice the editor Paul Messenger writing a usual notables articles, and this month is about a new rebuilding the historic and fantastic no more Skypton Castle Loudspaeakers, today at Made in China by IAG Group.
The price of the new one Castle Models: £300 to £1000, it's not possible, but it's true unfortunately, and she saids: These are obvious differences between the new and the old.
About my budget, not for the moment, but in a future maybe, €1500 = £1300/1500 + -,
Naim have a good options, Supernait, it's one.
For my loudspeakers i believe a right option, 87db to 8 ohm. What's your opinion.
In your country you have a many options and coices, many are not much known, but are very good.

Having never really liked thes sound, certainly the older kit, I had completely forgotton about Naim and Linn, there are more UK manufacturers than I thought.

Hi ServerBaboon,
Yes indeed, in England are many, many audio manufacturers. Some manufacturers as well known, others not know much, but doesn't not mean they have quality, the opposite: Sugden as a great manufacturer, the problem that is very expensive, but the quality are expensive, indeed certainly.
My budget maybe up to €2300 => £1940, and that price i thing to find good amplification (Condition: Not Made in China ), it's not easy, but...
Regards
