Headphoneus Supremus
I find the photos quaint, but definitely reassuring. Chalk one up for the "little man" and the stuff "American Dreams" are made of! : )

I just won't buy a Grado headphone because of the factory they are manufactured. |

I expect the machines area kept immaculately clean, the workbench again, organized and clean, no cardboard boxes, headphone and amp parts not piled up on top of each other everywhere. Find something else other than card boards. Find a building that has good filtration, air system, with proper good lighting, large clean, smooth benches with plenty of shelves for the worker's tools, and chairs with proper support for a long day of manufacturing. Bunch of people holed up in a room with piles of card board boxes in a small room with bunch of amateur looking people standing around, is not what I expect. |

It doesn't look terribly different from some big company machining and testing areas I've seen aside from the size which is dictated by sales volume and not different from how I'd imagine many of the smaller audio shops. People would be in for a surprise if they saw some places they think are squeaky clean white rooms. |
