Advise on buying electronics out of-the country


It was brought to my attention by several online and in our audio group several people bought LPS ,such as Ted Pardo,,  fidelizer and others ,and this applies to electronics ,if there is no service centers I advise against it . My friend bought  a   Fidelizer LPS which has a Horrible 1 year warranty and his failed within 6 months ,you-have to ship it back to Europe for service, Very costly  ,  with Digital finally Denafrips finally has a service  center in the U.S and does Holo Springs which is good. many people don’t think about this , if it’s under $200 then that’s not a big risk . that’s one reason I always check where I can get it repaired in the U.S or Canada if not I don’t buy it ,just  something to think about.

I have bought amps from Austria, power supplies from Netherlands. components from GB, Bulgaria, and others.  I often buy from Parts connexion and hificollective.  Tubes from Ukrane and other ex soviet republics that I can't even spell.  Never a problem.  Oh yeah, one big purchase from Cyprus.

Just to be clear, the gear I mentioned above was bought from and shipped from the countries mentioned.
