We US $ folks are doing pretty well these days, with the Euro approaching parity.
Social welfare state largesse and attendant price inflation aside, much Euro gear is staring to look good. It hasn't really trickled down to the pricing of mfgrs with US distribution, but the prices of Euro-denominated gear sold directly from the manufacturer is starting to look downright enticing!!
How best to capitalize? I got a Sound Sculptor kit at a ridiculous price, compared to what they were going for just a couple years ago. The Tegeler Audio stuff is also looking like more of a bargain. (To dispel rumors, they do manufacture in the third world. Have you been to Tegel, Berlin?).
Any more bargains you can think of? Too bad Denmark is still on the Krone, or Tubetech might start approaching prices affordable by mortals.
And don't feel bad, anyone. Weak currency juices exports, which in turn improves economic health. Let's open our wallets and do our part for our European brethren.
Suggestions of off-the-beaten-path Eurozone brands?

Shall we take advantage of the toilet-bound Euro?
