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

Are you saying they have no stock of parts? I dont believe they are making gear made to order. So if they are already charging more they are cheating you. I could see maybe by the end of the yearish maybe

Surely, manufacturers can set the price as high as they want to. Question is who is going to pay what ?

Ain’t nothin’ changin’ in this system but tubes and an occasional cartridge. Go grow a vegetable garden peeps; while cultivating it, you won’t care about domestic and planetary horrors, you’ll be investing in your health and fine dining and after working in the garden and dining on your garden-sourced gourmet organic vegetable dinner, you’ll appreciate the well earned cocktail and the rewards of your amazing audio system. Point is: be happy with your home audio system and seek to improve your home fresh food system...might even be a healthier hobby...

Excellent advice Xenolith. Get some chickens too. They are hilarious and eggs are always welcome

Right, Get a chicken and name it Vector.
