Hi!
 I have a question, is it possible to buy audio equipment on this site by paying for shipping to Europe or only for pickup or delivery in the USA?

    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Please Note:
It depends on each seller if he is willing to ship the equipment to your country. This site does not charge sales fee and earn no profit from the sale nor is it responsible for the sale or its consequences, nor for the shipping or customs duties.

To clarify, you do not buy anything from this site. If you buy something from a vendor or individual who uses this site, you may have to pay tax depending on the relevant laws for both you and the seller, but that is nothing to do with this site.

I have a pair of RP-6000F and RP-600c that I'm highly interested in purchasing the upgrade kits for, but 1st I have a few questions.
After watching all the RP-600m videos and comparing that to the descriptions of the kits on your web site I don't want to assume so the following question came to mind.
1) There is no mention of OFC solid core wire that is used to go from network to speakers as being supplied for the RP-6000F kit. Is it included?
2) Regarding the supplied tube connectors. Do they accept a standard banana plug connector?
3) In the 600m videos you mentioned several time even soldier is included in your kits but like the OFC solid wire there is no mention of it in the description. Is it included?
4) Finally, Can you bundle the two kits I need and offer a discount? If so PM me a quote. Otherwise ignore this cheap bastard. lol

Brazil population today 2023 is 218 millions and the Hi-Fi scene is very small.
Music lovers and audiophiles laugh at the prices of audio equipment.
However today a local made 32'' LED TV cost is very cheap under $250 usd
but every product imported are 100% taxed(except books), a Bryston B100 was Retail around $5,500  when new.
Conniving with this system Amazon.com charge customs duties in advance.

From $35.99  to  $120.74
From $23.99  to  $ 93.09
From $16.99  to  $79.52
From $23.79  to  $93.27
From $35.99  to  $119.21

Duty will be consistent on entry to Canada from the USA, but taxes will vary by province. I paid 5.4% combined (I have no breakdown of how much is one or the other) this week on a used Benz Micro LP-S entering Nova Scotia from Washington state.

Thankyou Dr.Moss for your confirmation. The 100% of Brazilian Customs Duties give you a pale idea of how this country exploit its citizens.
