Is this an right time to buy hifi?

@millercarbon Fed printing, precious metals, crypto: All agreed. 
@p05129 Not that this is a digital currency forum, but Google large (US by the way) institutional holdings now and you’ll quickly see why your next audiophile component will soon be transacted through crypto. It’s an inevitable reality with today’s market infrastructure. 

MC and the rest - one day you'll be right:

But not today it seems. 

Some of these lists are complete twaddle. 

Do your research and buy from companies with a long and consistent track record. How did they perform during recessions and booms. Has their quality remained consistent. There is no doubt you have to wait for better gear to be built as most smart manufacturers dont overproduce during booms or ramp up production during momentary spikes. The real question...did consumer purchasing habits change in 2020 for good or will they return to trend. No one knows but alot of things affect demand. In addition Brexit, etc has changed the British hifi market and who knows what to expect.

Regarding investment and economic advice offred on an audio forum. Proceed at your own risk. @millercarbon may very well be right and Warren Buffet may very well be wrong. You pick. I’ve done reasonably well over the past 30 years investing with Mr. Buffet but I’m sure when all heck breaks loose and those 30 years of investments vaporize, I know I can count on the compassion of @millercarbon to allow me to share a can of peaches in his underground bunker while he communicates on his shortwave during the apocalypse. 

deadhead1K, et all....

Hate to break it to y'all....but the 'universe' has already collapsed....
Since it's so damn big, the 'memo' hasn't reached the backwaters...aka, Here...

But what can one expect out of a holographic synapse array, anyway?
The way I discern it, the reason your stack o' stuff don't sound good is that you are there to experience it, and effecting the experience....

Yup, damn quantum strata yet again.....*bemused sigh*
It's those continuum ripples in spacetime....go to bed happy, wake up disappointed...the cat pooped on the left monoblock, the dog leaked on the Maggie, the spouse threatened to cut All the ic's (including Yours), the grandkids frisbee'd the lp's....

It's always Something....;)
