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?

I haven't read through this whole thread but from what I have read, there are some who believe that if you just buy American made you're not impacted. I'm in Australia and some American companies have increased their prices here because their parts come from China and that pushes up the cost. 

Someone else here wrote that the tariffs are paid for by the Chinese, not Americans. That's completely wrong. The customer pays. It's a tax on Americans. The idea is that Americans will prefer to buy American goods instead of Chinese if Chines products are more expensive but that doesn't work because so much doesn't even get manufactured in America anymore. China is the only supplier of so many goods, there's no getting away from buying Chinese made.
