Tariffs and sky high audio prices.
With the Chinese tariffs taking hold on 100% of the imports and maybe even on Mexico forthcoming, the audio industry is going to see another big jump in their sky high prices. Anyone making purchases ASAP to get lower prices from existing inventory before post tariff products enter the marketplace?

nonoise ... One thing we can agree on is the fact that you and I, and others on this site, enjoy one of the greatest hobbies in existence, and that is the recreation of music to the highest degree possible in our own homes. If you lived within driving distance, I'd love to have you over for a listening session. Frank |
@oregonpapa - The only reason we have an economy; the US Dollar is currently the world’s standard currency. Too bad, it’s backed by nothing but trust that we can repay the debts, incurred by the government and owed by every American citizen, whether they’re aware it’s owed or not. China has been hoarding gold for decades(if not centuries) and it’s currency/economy is backed by gold. The US Dollar is backed by imagination("fiat money"). Just wait, ’til the rest of the world catches on, the Juan takes center stage in the world economy and renders your, "money" worthless. Keep your eyes open/coming soon, to a neighborhood near YOU(unfortunately/hope I’m wrong)!

rodman99999 ... You are exactly right in every respect. There is a reason that the money issue isn't taught in our government schools. It has been said that if Americans were to ever wake up to what has been done to their money, there would be a revolution by morning. Look at the effects ... In 1965, at the age of 25, I bought a brand new home in Huntington Beach, California. I paid the grand sum of $24,750 for it. My payments were $147.00 per month, and that included taxes and insurance. That same home today would top $600,000 easily. The question is ... did the value of the home increase, or did the value of money decrease? I suspect by your above post that you know the answer. :-) And by the way, in addition to that new home, I had two cars, one of which was new. It was a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere hardtop coupe with the 383 engine. I bought it right off of the showroom floor for $3,500. I had two kids, and my wife stayed home with the kids as a full-time Mom. It wasn't necessary for her to work. What did I do for a living that afforded all of this? I had a bottled water route and worked on a 100% commission basis. One of the last of the hard physical jobs. They still guard Fort Knox, but not to guard the gold. They guard it to keep the secret that there is no gold left in Fort Knox. Here's a good book for those interested to read: https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Creature-from-Jekyll-Island-A-Second-Look-at-the-Federal-Reserve/192932931805?epid=111597646&hash=item2cebb2e8dd:m:mDRwSYEPazkKkqKmNBMs1cQ Frank PS: Even though I'm a good cook, I no longer have dinner parties. But, if anyone is interested, give me a heads up for a listening session. If anyone is going to the Long Beach show this coming weekend, give me a heads up. We'll be there on Saturday and we can tip a beer together. |
