Tariffs and sky high audio prices.
With the Chinese tariffs taking hold on 100% of the imports and maybe even on Mexico forthcoming, the audio industry is going to see another big jump in their sky high prices. Anyone making purchases ASAP to get lower prices from existing inventory before post tariff products enter the marketplace?

"...there was a 75th Anniversary of allied forces landing in Normandy two days ago. That was a bloody and decisive campaign."There was a 75th anniversary of Monte Cassino just two or three weeks earlier. For some reason, that one is rarely mentioned. Tariffs and globalization aside, it included many countries. From Poland, across India, to New Zealand and a few more to the South and West and in between. If it were not for Roger Waters, even Anzio would have a hard time finding its way to an average audiophile home, it seems. |

"...automakers like BMW, Volvo, Buick and other makes being made in China, for the Chinese market, with the eventuality that they will export to other parts of the globe." I avoided mentioning it but now when you touched it, Volvo XC 60 used to be produced in China and imported to the USA. It has changed recently. I believe that Volvo S90 is still made only in China. It is sold most everywhere. |
"China is not like Germany. They don’t have a workforce so uber educated and skilled they can not only design but also build a Porsche." What Germany does not have is uber-educated skilled workforce. At least not in needed numbers. What China does have is the most Porsches sold in the world. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/19/germany-passes-immigration-law-to-lure-non-eu-skilled-... https://newsroom.porsche.com/fallback/en/company/porsche-vehicle-deliveries-third-quarter-2018-clear... |
