I wonder if any folks who already bought a Cubed, discover they have brand x transformers, and now are annoyed and want Plitron transformers?
I would think a lot of folks could care less, and trust Bryston to do right by them, but at least some folks would want the Plitron once they find out various transformers are used.
I realize this is a non issue as far as most folks go. But for me, I would certainly prefer a North American part (or even a European part) over a Chinese made part.. in anything I buy.
(Plenty of folks in America have no job since some Chinese person took it. And yes it is true this is a political statement. Canada is not stealing American jobs.. US and Canada have a pretty even trade balance... :^)
