Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?


I don't have any specific example but just from looking at it overall, it seems like high-end components prices have really risen more than inflation.  

Or may be it is must me?

I think the root cause is the FED has been printing money.  I mean look at their balance sheet.  They got 8 trillion dollars.  All that was just trying to artificially inflate the stock market and the housing market but at the expense of inflating the cost of everything else.

Are manufecturers , rich  peoples ?
Is it a rewarding business ?

I don’t know .
 

Andy,

I agree with you. Can't just keep printing money.

What a mess and still years to go until relief!

The Fed is not just printing money. Stop with the folk economics as it makes you guys look like trolls, which you are.

All the best,

I am not sure how the FED going to unwind their 8 trillion dollar balance sheet.  Is it even possible?  What if we going to have a crisis tomorrow, what are they going to do?  Just adding more to the existing 8 trillion?  This inflationary condition is not going to be "transitory".  What if it's here to stay.
