Tariff Panic At Axpona 25?


I noticed that there has been very little reporting on the business side of the audio industry's concerns regarding the recent tariffs. 

This morning Audioholics published the following insightful report on its website:

Global Tariff Fears Cause Panic in Audiophile Industry at AXPONA 2025

@cleeds Agree 100%.

According to the link provided, Audioholics believes, "the best factories in the world for audiophile components are located in China and Vietnam." So as usual, I really don't care what they might think or feel about anything.

The business, engineering and manufacturing acumen on this audio form is non existent. Why I give zero stock to the statement and opinions expressed in this forum. 

@knownothing No time for you do what you usually do, Google and read a bunch of talking points from the media and the morons that work in the media. God forbid you read a book or two. 
 

Those who can do, those who can’t just bitch and moan. 

Comrade @gano !!

Laundering money.

 

Which already started with the slashing of USAID. 

Poland, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Portugal, all are strong in manufacturing audio equipment as are others. If the plant is owned by say NAD they will have total control of the manufacturing process than say a company using contract manufacturing. This is more prevalent than not in Asia.
