I thought BMC was German-made... I guess not for $1600... It is purty, tho...

mdconnelly · January 07, 2013, 05:11:04 AM

BMC is in Germany. (www.bmc-audio.com) Where the components are made may be a different question.

machinehead · January 07, 2013, 06:35:05 AM

Been Made in China.. lol

Its pretty though.. is it made in China?

Im a sucker for nice design, being a designer myself (graphic, web) And it has the perfect functions.. DAC, Pre and headphones. Will have to see if that price sticks.

From the article I linked above:
"B.M.C. designs the products in Germany and manufactures them at a wholly-owned factory in China..."

How else could they do it?

machinehead · January 07, 2013, 08:38:14 AM

True. Everything is made there. Trenton, NJ has the slogan, which really doesnt apply now. Trenton Makes, the World Takes. Trenton makes their crap in China too Im sure.

As long as the QC is good. The Germans know good design... I would like to see a "There were no Jews cooked in the making of this product" on their packaging though...

Im a Jew and this was approved by me mostly..

I heard a line in the Liam Neeson movie "Unknown" as we watched it last night. It just stuck in my head and seems appropriate. The ex-Stasi old man said ...

"We Germans have a very forgetful nature. We've successfully forgotten we were Nazi's. We've also successfully forgotten 40 years of Communism."

This message was not approved by anyone, and I am also part German.

lol.... I would like to have a little German in me... Bob?
Wait that sounds suspiciously non-heterosexual.

Doh! didn't even see the word 'China' as a link. Makes me wonder how many other links I never realize are links.

richidoo · January 07, 2013, 01:32:48 PM

That's OK Mike! I used to color links blue, but I am getting lazyyy....
