Tariff Panic At Axpona 25?

It’s not just one part that’s at issue.

Using Audio Research Corp as an example, just a guess 98% of the electronic components in their audio equipment is imported from China, Taiwan, or Vietnam.

Going from memory the face plates are imported. ARC is basically a design and assembly manufacturer. Made in the USA? Well? Engineered, and assembled in the USA.

You might ask why doesn’t ARC buy the electronic components from manufacturers here in the USA?  Who might that be?

@cleeds Agree 100%.

According to the link provided, Audioholics believes, "the best factories in the world for audiophile components are located in China and Vietnam." So as usual, I really don't care what they might think or feel about anything.

The business, engineering and manufacturing acumen on this audio form is non existent. Why I give zero stock to the statement and opinions expressed in this forum. 

@texasblues1959 please share your deeper knowledge as it relates to this topic.  Inquiring minds want to know.

@knownothing No time for you do what you usually do, Google and read a bunch of talking points from the media and the morons that work in the media. God forbid you read a book or two. 
 

Those who can do, those who can’t just bitch and moan.
