if you're planning to buy brand new cartridges and stylus, it might be timely to buy now. US cartridge makers have jacked up their prices up to 50% for whatever reason. US analog users have started to air their complaints about it today. online sources have already increrased their quotes. local dealers probably still have the old price tags. but if the manufacturers have informed them of the adjustments, you'll find prices way up in the next few days.

i read AK members were complaining starting yesterday they received notices from Amazon that M97's retail price has just been adjusted by Shure to $89. probably, Shure recalled the adjustment due to the complaints.

I think it was the e-bay stores that cancelled orders due to increased prices. I think amazon prices are still good because they were able to buy in bulk but prices will hold only till supplies last. Let's just hope they don't cancel my order. This analog thing is starting to get expensive with all the accessories we have to buy and of course the vinyls we have to add to our collection.

OT: hindi ka ba pupunta sa minbizcon? will drop by there at 4pm, after work just to see what's happening.
PostScript:
i hope the Manila hifi marketing guys would read this but Minbizcon (Mindanao Business Conference) would be a good event to showcase their good-looking de-tubo and expensive gear. ang daming galit sa pera dito sa Mindanao na walang mabilhan ng magagandang laruan (lalo na yung mga may mansyon na hindi binabagayan ng surplus equipment.)
