I was in a local hifi shop just before things started shutting down. The owner was saying how shipments out of China were coming to a halt due to the pandemic at the source. I would think most every maker in most any country must be affected that way by now. Not to mention the economic impact to buyers. Add that all up and it would indicate markets are slow currently but supply and demand both affected.
Opinions on the current market
I’ve been reading extensively, trying to narrow down the best option for a tube pre to add to my system. The nature of the hobby is such that I expect to try a few different options, so I’m curious about people’s opinions on the market right now. Figuring I’ll have to resell whatever i try, I’d like to ‘buy right’ now. I’m not by nature an equipment flipper, but there are just too many possible options to expect to get it right first time. Anyone else looking at prices now, with informed opinions of whether the market is good or not for a buyer?
