Tariffs and sky high audio prices.

Welcome to Audiogon arbitrary moderation Mapman....

It's all fair in love and war.....

It’s only hifi and that is all.

It does concern me though whenever free speech gets arbitrarily suppressed just because it may upset some people. Never a good sign.

Haven't seen the prices on Harbor Freight tools increase... practically everything they sell is from China.

What needs to be closely watched is the price of gas. We import 600,000-700,000 barrels of crude from Mexico on a daily basis and Mexico is our largest buyer of our refined gasoline at over 1million barrels a day.

Factor in the cost of gas when transporting goods and you'll see an even larger bump in the end price of your audio gear.

All the best,

It will take some time for current stock to be sold at Harbor Freight.
Hopefully, they won't increase prices until then, unlike gasoline distributors- who increase the price even though the gas in the holding tanks was bought before the price increase.
