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

Damn, now we are sliding into discussing agriculture.

Tony, your new PM is up to something, for better or for worse, I don't know. In league with Europeans. And they all don't sound like true audiophiles, which means that big screw ups are likely coming from all sides.

I still don't know how to open Swiss bank account. Both US and Canadian dollars might go down big time.

Sweat in the garden; chill with the system.

.....Or just buy American made gear. There is plenty of really top quality gear made here. Americans are the King of preamps, and arguably power amps as well. 

On another note bespoke gear is so overpriced these days (gee thanks Mr. Levenson) that I hope the manufacturers eat the costs of the imported goods they sell. 

Bryston told me they are eating the increased costs "so Americans don't buy McIntosh instead of Bryston" 

FWIW I have not seen any items at my local dealer marked up yet. 

Speaking of audio equipment and tariffs, are you aware that Cornish game hens are not Cornish, they’re not game, and half the time they’re not hens??!

All they are are 4-5 week old regular chickens, both male and female.

The poultry equivalent of veal.
