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

.....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.

I will tell you after 40 years of medicine and alot of head and neck cancer surgery i have done cholesterol is you least problem with alcohol tobacco.it has a direct link to head and neck cancer as does human papillon virous.i trained in newyork at one of the top 5 centers in America with 10 head and neck surgeons.we had one of the first pet scanners in america.believe me the last thing you want is a hole in your neck to breath through and a radiated neck. To bad we can't put a tariff on cancer. Enjoy the music

Buy made in the USA, that will take care of tarrifs for scared US boys.

Tweaks, creative room treatment, upgrades like installing a dedicated 20 amp circuit ( some material would need to be purchased but most of the cost is labor) Making sure your speaker placement is perfect.  Some things that wouldn’t require the purpose of new gear.  Sticking to used gear, enjoying the music.
