@bigtwin Agree many parts can be bought in the USA and can easily find USA options. My post is not just about banana plugs it’s an example of what buying anything from China now looks like. Many items are only available in China like buying $300 Psvane tubes, $800 Lilsong speaker drivers to name a few and the list goes on….
Aliexpress no longer an option
Anyone try to buy from Aliexpress recently? I went in to pick up some copper banana connectors, added them to my cart to find out what our new tariffs look like. $13.00 set of 4 bananas, $1.14 tax, $1.20 shipping and $23.40 customs fee! That for a $13.00 item. Trade war has arrived at our door. Grrrrrrr….
Please reframe from the political debates/opinions I just wanted to inform USA audio shoppers what our China tariff reality is now.
