@nonoise Xmas Shopping. LOL. Have a great day. |
All the best, |
@tubebuffer I LOVE YOU MAN! |
I would going to say talking about donuts, but someone would probably equate the hole to female anatomy and go off on a diatribe about donuts being a graphic representation of female vulnerability and the toxicity of the patriarchy.
I can't quite agree with this recommendation. If your political trash talk is somewhat reasoned, you should take that to Facebook. If it is an ideological rant, or conspiracy theory, that is what Twitter and Youtube are for.

I agree completely. $75-Billion worth of weaponry left at Bog ram is false. It was $85 Billion left in the hands of those who have sworn to annihilate us. But they were just kidding Still this has little to do with the inflation & rising prices. Printing $$$ is a major cause of that. Of course uncle Joe knows that and hasn't authorized that has he? |
@costa94109 Thank you! I am dealing with these same issues as a global manufacturer. Not saying that many of these issues were not around pre-COVID, however COVID has been the force multiplier along with geopolitical issues. Cheers. |
Hey Artemus_5. The Whole 🧠 ☠️ brain dead Biden admin sucks ,70%+ will attest to that ,next year will be a major 360 turn around people sick of the 200k a month illegals coming in ,bad on every level . Being an ex veteran , just abandoning the Afghan people , Thst helped is fir 20 years , and giving up Bogram airfield ,and leaving $75 Billion was stupid ,13 great 🇺🇸 Americans died for Nothing brain ☠️ dead Joe Joe moved on like cannon fodder. You were not there so your ignorant opinion means-0 !! |
Just as @nonoise & PolitiFact has pointed out, you are very uninformed. Just because uncle Joe closed up drilling on fed lands and various pipelines resulting in a shortage of gas doesn’t mean that the price of gas had to rise. So you don’t have as big a supply? What difference does it make? Then when Joe et al forced the vaccine mandate on employers and people quit rather than taking the vaccine, doesn’t mean that caused a labor shortage.And the $$$ that others are getting as part of the govt payroll protection program has no bearing on labor shortages. Everyone knows it the peoples fault for not taking the vaccines, which contents have been sealed for 55 yrs. And just because the others getting the PPP $$$ are making more $$$ than if they go to work, doesn’t mean they are right or that a labor shortage is being helped along by govt. This is just a couple reasons why @nonoise & politifact are sure you are uninformed. I can only hope that you have learned something between the 3 of us |
What mwasilo is saying demonstrates a lack of knowledge in the economics of what is happening today. It appears more like he has an axe to grind with everyone. Frankly, I find his response insulting and I’m sure is also insulting to a lot of other manufacturers who operate their business with integrity and with their customers’ goals as the primary concern to satisfy. There may well be manufacturers who are increasing prices simply to take advantage of an opportunity but to make a blanket statement accusing all major manufacturers of this behaviour seems unwarranted and without any justification. The supply chain for a large variety of electronic components including (but not limited to) semiconductors, capacitors, resistors and a plethora of other parts (many custom made too) is hampered by incredibly long delays with associated price increases, some of them being extremely high. In order to try and stay ahead of the curve we now need to preorder a lot more inventory and pay prices that are sometimes double, sometimes triple or more from what they were before. Sadly that does mean we need to increase our prices, which we are, come January 2022. Costa Koulisakis Simaudio Ltée (i.e MOON by Simaudio) Boucherville, Que, Canada |
Denafrips is experiencing high demand for their products. Do you really think they would use that rationale in their email to announce a price increase…? they make great products, sold direct to consumers at sensible prices. The Pontus increased $150 Singapore $. That is very modest and less than Naim’s price increases 2-3 years ago. Can’t say I blame them. Their products and customer service are good. Other manufacturers should take note. I love my Pontus II. It has look, feel and performance of a DAC costing 2x. |
@carlsbad I ask myself the same question at least once in every single audiogon thread. |
Face it kids costs are up across the globe. Logistics and shipping costs (conex containers) costs have gone up dramatically in the last 18 month. China is also experiencing escalating energy costs and shortages of coal for generating electricity due trade issues with Australia. It is all a perfect storm so buckle up kids. COVID has just magnified all these issues. Trump did not break it and Biden will not fix it.

Do you have any idea how uniformed you are? All the best,
