I imagine that whatever happens we still have a month or two at least for ordering the 009 as they are now, wouldn't you think so?
Production hasn't stopped and isn't going to according to Stax. Nor is production moving.

If quality remains the same, I say build build build in China! I've been wanting to get more Stax gear, but the very weak dollar against the yen keeps me from doing it. Building in China where the currency is no longer pegged, but certainly not down as much as the yen/dollar rate, is a financial boon for me. Every time I head to Japan I cringe at the exchange rate knowing how just 5-6 years ago I was getting rates of 110-120 yen/dollar instead of today's abysmal 75-80. That's a 40-50% increase in Stax gear over a relatively short time.
Next year I'm auditioning the JRDG Corus, in the US I believe the retail price is $12,000 but may be got at some places for $9,000. In the UK the Corus is £12,000 which is around $18,650.
