Prices on damn near everything have increased incredibly. Some transformers have recently gone up 50%, panel prices are up, PC boards are up, JR has had to give in and raise prices on wood bases (thanks for hanging in so long on the pricing JR), tubes, capacitors - you name it. Wire has been insane for some time now. A spool of wire now costs about the same as a Stereomour kit.

So you all have been notified. Prices will be increasing.

Thank you for the fair warning, I ordered the Eros2 to upgrade my Eros. All while I have not even build my BeePre2. Oh the fun that is waiting for me in the near future.

When will the price increase go into practice? I just received my Bee Pre 2 (assembling it now and enjoying the assembly). I was considering waiting for any news on your possible new mono blocks, or would the Kaiju be a better pairing?

Prices will increase soon. We already did an increase on Kaiju and BeePre2, but there will likely be another. We are headed on a short vacation tomorrow and will be back later in the week. Prices will probably not go up until we get back.

Things are still quite busy for everyone here it will probably be a while yet until the bigger amp we have been talking about will be ready for me to listen to and sign off on.
