Returning to the original subject, I too am not going to buy anything significant in the near future, either audiophile or not. I am just going to save what I can, there is a lot of uncertainty. Hopefully the dollar value will hold, more or less.
Just spent $500 on NOS matched quad tubes to have a spare set. Couldn't resist, and these tubes are going more and more difficult to find. Tubes are like batteries in a sense, you must have them when you need them. Oh, I better go buy some batteries too, by the way, for my high end flashlights and couple of remote controls.
