I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment.

From the late ’80s and throughout the ’90s and into the early ’00s I used to religiously drink (three times a day on work days) this concoction I made up of skim mily, either a cup or two cups (I cannot remember for sure it’s been so long) of powdered milk, this brewers yeast powder I bought at GNC, and four raw eggs of which I separated the yolk from white as best I could on three of them (I threw in some black strap molasses to compensate for the slimy raw egg taste). I felt great back then, but that was 30 years ago and things change. My cholesterol was never an issue back then. It is now.

I am trying to do more oats these days.

I say again….

Back to regularly scheduled programming.

How will you avoid the higher costs of audio gear associated with tariffs?

New or used gear? 

@2psyop , for me it will be NO gear upgrades for a few years.  No more eggs, either.

@nonoise , now that you mention it, I do remember a post by MC regarding HRC, prison jump suits, and the CCP.

Between AudioMart, AudiogoN, eBay, HiFi Shark, CraigsList and the others, one might find just what one needs used and avoid the tariffs.

dill- good point

I was throwing a big hint to my fellow audiophiles out there. Maybe, just maybe you might avoid the temptation to collect more audio equipment. Have a chair, grab a drink and listen to the music. Reap the benefits of your choices and experience and enjoy the listening experience again. If you were ever waiting for a time to pause your spending and enjoy what you have now, this is the time.
