Yes, Burson is an Australian company and I rather wish we could claim their products as "made in Australia" but I've followed Burson and audio-gd for some years, I own products from each of them and I'm confident of my statement. Early Burson buffers for example, were externally and internally identical to buffers produced by audio-gd [no longer available outside China].

Interesting.  I'll get the word direct from Burson.

Good luck! This is a long standing debate but so far as I know there's never been a "confession" from either side.

Hi Locus,

Our products are assembled in Australian by us in our own facilities.  We have absolutely no association with this audiogd.

Best regards,

With all respect I don't think that reply tells us anything with the key words being "assembled" and "association" but I have great regard for the products produced by both companies so I leave it to others to make up their own minds.

Sure, their products are well regarded. 
thats why im thinking on pulling the trigger on the HA-160.
I would make a nice match for my HD800's.
