I'm not saying it IS built in America. i was surprised by the claim as well. I'm well aware of Anaba's roots, but that doesn't in any way mean they couldn't come up with a product or two that's made here if they WANTED to. This may very well just be deceptive marketing. I am going to keep looking into it. If it is, Sonicelectronix is screwing up by advertising "Made in the USA". Update: After another email questioning the meaning of "born in" vs. "made in"... CD: They are proudly built in the USA, actually here in California! What
