MeloManiac Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 It was a news item recently: in Europe, consumer prices go up, with 10 to 30 per cent. Especially building materials go up. If you are in need of a bicycle, in Belgium delivery is expected in 2026, for some models! I've been considering buying the iFi Zen Phono (preamp). Up to last month, it was €159. Now, everywhere, the price tag is ... €189 https://www.wifimedia.eu/en/ifi-audio-zen-phono.html ☹️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P. Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Keeping it Klipsch related, I've noticed the asking prices for used Klipsch speakers have gone up significantly as well. On local craigslist for instance, I see Heresy I's going for $850, kg 4's for $650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Ifi makes some interesting stuff. Make sure that is an actual pre-amp the Zen stuff I have not seen before. Had a $$ thing advertised as a pre with a tube in it that went inline with the signal. Could choose push/pull, SET, DECA and that was it I think. The first two made a big difference in the sound, but it was a "trick" I didn't need. Enjoy it man! Don't wait too long, get it before the next hike hits.
