Re: Silicon Chip Shortage
The fact that AKM chip factory burned down didn't help either.

Re: Silicon Chip Shortage
All NAIM Uniti products derived their chips from that factory. Now there is a 6-12 month wait....or more for NAIM Uniti products.

Re: Silicon Chip Shortage
In Europe, all Denon/Marantz/Onkyo/Pioneer/Yamaha receivers are out of stock. Most of the distributors have just 3-4 models in stock. Onkyo/Pioneer have deeper problems.
There is also big shortage of Naim MuSo / MuSo Qb - basicly 3 months wait.Adam

Re: Silicon Chip Shortage
Not limited to just audio components at the moment. Just try to find the hardware to build a PC... Motherboards, maybe. But CPUs and GPUs essentially don't exist at any price or performance tier.

Re: Silicon Chip Shortage
So, is this is one of the reasons , pretty much every high end audio company is increasing prices?
In some cases, drastic price increases.
Trade policies from a a previous administration now coming to fruition?

Re: Silicon Chip Shortage
Any change in the market, weather it be tariff's, factory fire, silicon shortage, etc., gets passed down to the consumer via price increases. Always has always will. 😒
