Impact of Tariffs on Audio Market

The biggest problem with tariffs and economic isolationism is that they stifle competition and innovation. Less competition and innovation mean higher prices. Higher prices stifle growth and increase inflation. Inflation tends to depress real wages over time.

Less innovation, less choice and more expensive goods with less money to pay for them. Sounds like a real recipe for success to me.

Well, I called my local Kuzma dealer. I'm thinking of upgrading my setup, and the US Importer just raised prices by 5% due to tariffs.  

I don’t know Kuzma, but from initial research it looks like they are out of Slovenia which is not China which would then explain why there wasn’t a 145% increase on top of purchase price.
