Tariffs and sky high audio prices.

About 90% of what you buy is made in China, despite what the Made in the USA label says. As for Mexico, and Canada, we've all been part of the same manufacturing base. Just because NAFTA was renamed USMCA doesn't mean it's changed any. 

tRump is so stupid, he thinks China and Mexico are paying the tariffs, or he thinks his fanbase is so stupid to believe it because he says so. We are paying 100% of it.

Here is a list of 100% made in America goods. Tell me, where are the audio gear listed? Even if your particular gear is sold as made in America, where do the wires, cables, caps, switches, RCA inputs, etc. made?

Here's another list where they state that the companies listed are 100% made in America except for when they contain product not made in America. Some list, eh?

Can't wait for this thread to devolve.
