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 do not (yet) buy LPS, nor the Swedish dirt boxes for grounds.

But I did buy a used preamp out of Switzerland without any problem.
(But it was through a dealer who had it on trade in,)

The same model was available from CZ, China and Italy… but they were scammers.
It took some work on google images to identify as problematic, as the scammers are getting pretty good at their craft.

 

A percentage of US gear is made in China, so I am not that there is a great deal of benefit in buying US/Canada/Mexico unless one knows where the is ACTUALLY made.
