Röhren und Hören

Thank you for your reply!

It is impossible for me to ear both equipment with my speakers because I´m in Portugal and here is very hard or impossible to find Cayin or Shanling. I´m looking for a sound a bit warmer because my Triangle are al itle bit open in the mid-high section. By your commentaries the Shanling would be a good option. Anyone knows the price of the Shanling including shipping? I will have to send mail to the web sites but if you put the price paid here it will be mores faster...

For now the best price I have is 1050 euros for the Cayin A-88T. But I´m concern with one thing. They said they put a low price in the receipt in order to pay less to Customs but if the machine damage I only receive the price in the receipt. Anyone had trouble with this?

Hi,

I would not recommend doing so. What could you win? Maybe 100 Euro? I do not know the import taxes and VAT in Portugal. Please calculate that and decide.
Also, customs officers in Germany are not stupid any more since we have Ebay. They clearly do not believe everything and have approximate lists of values of items.
What can you loose? As you said yourself you do not have insurance coverage any more and you could loose 900 to 1000 Euros.

Doesn't sound like a good deal for me.

Greetings,
Heinz

Thank you for your help!

I will buy Cayin A-88T tube amp and Jolida music Van cd player!

Only one thing! I saw a person who want to sell one Pathos Classic one MKII (second hand) here (portugal) on a forum. Do you think this is a good match for my Celius or Cayin is a better choice?

cheers
