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?

I think it should go on. It's not down to the level of YouTube banter and still is incredibly civil. It's the one sided censoring at what would seem the behest of those who want it ended that entertains my thoughts as of late.

Wasn't there a thread that was deleted that a certain someone wanted to keep going that traveled the same route as this one? Is it ownership of the thread or the content that irks?

Better minds need chime in before fate intervenes.

All the best,

Very well said and 100% agree. What we long for is the FEELING of security and the sense of order that SEEMED apparent during those times. The Rodney King stuff was crazy wasn't it...humanity, it's a perilous cauldron.

I'm sorry it turned into pro-Trump/anti-Trump, if only for a moment. I've never thought he was a bigot, just insensitive to a degree never seen from our leadership. I believe he is petty and childlike to a degree never seen from our leadership, although one only need listen to a fraction of the Watergate tapes to see that like many things, Trump isn't new or unique. Many thought by electing someone wealthy, that personal gain would have been off the table. That's a reasonable assumption. As I've stated earlier in this thread, we all know alot more than was possible prior to the 24 hour a day news cycle with instant internet searches at a keystroke. Hey, in my lifetime, the press pool would collectively keep mistresses out of the conversation. Imagine that today.

It is certainly within Audiogon's purview to cancel any thread they choose, which you likely know more about than many. Why are you so angry? You drop profanity and snide comments repeatedly. How unfortunate. 
I am trying to influence the moderator, stay quiet and don't interfere, leave it to me.
That crafty art of the deal guy is going to make us the best tremendous deal. We will win the Tariff War bigly.
So, judging from what little tax records he could not conceal, we find out that he lost more money than anyone in recent American history. He would have been crowned The Biggest Loser.
And as far as Paul Krugman is concerned, most of those I have seen criticize him support supply-side economics. This is a strategy that is based on myths that have been proven wrong. Supply does not inherently increase demand, and giving huge tax breaks for the wealthy and billion dollar corporations results in a glut of cash taken offshore to avoid taxes.
Simply put the middle class drives the economy because they spend the money.
