Michael, I gotta say, without politicizing, that regardless of the appatent value of the deal, this holiday season is probably the time to buy anything you need. I'm burried in gear at the moment. I can barely work in my cramped home studio and my priority is moving to more spacious digs, but I advise everyone else to buy now. Even if inflation has driven prices up. For music gear loaded with imported semiconductors and often made affordable by entirely offshored surface mount pcbs under the hood, these prices are probably the lowest you will see for years... and some small manufacturers may cease to exist if they're forced to pay wholesale prices inflated by tariffs on imported components with little or no domestic production. I'm not getting into the overall logic of the incoming administration's stated economic policy, maybe it'll be a terrific overall strategy. I'm just saying that our infrastructure for electronic components, particularly the sort you find in pro audio products, is not yet ready for this plan. If you want or need a piece of hardware, this is probably a last chance fire sale. Don't hesitate.

If you aren't an American you're probably okay for another year or so, although in europe you're probably paying more already.

Happy Thanksgiving

Good analysis, Jim. Someone had to say it.

GEAR:
  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101

This weekend is why everyone should keep a force-ranked Wishlist here on the site.

Ignore the hype and go get exactly what you've been putting off buying all year.

(Virtue-signaling, vague moralizing, smugness, and shameless Equipboard promotion, all in 2 short sentences!)

well thanks. economics isn't my background but it's easier to understand than something like ground (earth in the UK) potential... I can elaborate if you want, and I can tell you that either candidate was largely irrelevant in a strictly economic sense across the broad scope of history against which politics is almost like a fast hihat pattern against a multi-bar drone, but that's neither here nor there.
