Tariffs and sky high audio prices.

@rodman99999 LOL. I hear you and nothing wrong at all with non US parts or manufacture. That’s kindof the point isn’t it. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with utilizing the best part for the job. That kind of competition forces everything to a higher level of quality and performance. 

My system is a United Nations of gear and they play nicely with one another. Maybe audio systems can be a shining example to world leaders of how to get along. Have a great day.

So many seem to just want to blame their problems or shortcoming s on others. It’s human nature I suppose. Whatever happened to people not blaming others, taking responsibility, solving their own problems and making it on their own? I guess that demographic is on the decline in the US these days. Probably due to the inflated standard of living many but far from all have achieved over the years. We all better learn to look out for rather than antagonizing each other sooner rather than later. Also to look out for our planet together as well may as well mention. Unfortunately we seem to be moving entirely in the wrong direction as more and more people fall by the wayside, unable to keep up on their own. At least many have cell phones and headphones capable of making pretty good sounding music these days.

@mapman

Please elaborate. Who are the “so many” and who is “others”?

Take a gander at breitbart.com and you will see. If I have to come up with a label, I’d call the "so many" "nationalists" those who think they are getting the shaft from everyone else, harbor great resentment, and have identified the scapegoats. Much like Germany after WWI.
