I disagree with you also, especially with respect to better gear that is not made in the US. Jonathan Halpern has brought us Shindo and Leben (among others) and now brings us LM Audio a lower cost alternative. Jonathan finds these manufacturers and introduces their goods to the US. The fact is that I trust his ears and I am sure that the LM Audio stuff is going to be great. He also stands behind his products. I have spoke to him several times and had many email exchanges ( I had a Monbrison that I kick myself for selling). He has also been helpful and responded to my inquiries in a totally professional way. He also loves music --- not all distributors do.
My 2 cents.

Oddly enough,I'm considering a Monbrison to replace my Aurieges as I'm in the process of putting together a Garrard 401.I second your recommendation of Jonathan Halpern
It is tragic that Shindo's gears came to the North America Market this late in the game. When I first became an audiophile, I heard about Shindo and its legendary gears since 1989. The one particular gear that got my attention were the WE300B SET mono-blocks. They were expensive back then. I'm not sure why no one in North America knew or heard about this legendary brand until recently.

While 9 years ago might be recent as compared to 1989... I want exactly call it a recent arrival.
I heard about Shindo in 1989 but it is available in the local market way earlier than that. You are slow. :)
