Notes: FLAG: country_of_manufacture 'USA' taken from page text 'USA-designed and assembled' — this is the only Avantone product page where a manufacturing location was explicitly stated; ambiguous whether it means final assembly only. Collaboration/mod by Black Lion Audio ('BLA'); uses dedicated external tube power supply rather than 48V phantom.
