Dared amps

KT,
I do spend a fair amount of time in Shenzhen (I head there about 1/10 weeks for a few days). Usually don't go shopping,b ut I might try to find where you describe... don't speak enough Chinese to try anything, but I can always get a colleague to joing me.

thanks!

Bgrazman,

I can't guarantee the building is straight across from the McD's but it is fairly close. I'm sure if you have a friend in SZ he-she would kow of the building. If not when you are on that street a nearby store would likely know.

Keep in mind that the gear will be 220v and will need to be converted. Most likey the salseman could get it done for for little money. But your out the cash if they do it wrong. I remember when I was there I was looking a a couple pieces and I could defintely buy them and ship em back to the states for much less than what they sell for here. Also if you get serious to purchase. It is better for you to look by yourself. Decide what you want and then leave the store and have a Chinese person go back in a haggle the price for you.

I speak enough Chinese to haggle. But my Chinese friends could always beat my haggle by 10-20% I think it is because they expect the Chinese will haggle them. I can recall one small shop where the guy got angry because I haggled him down quite a bit and he threw my change at me :) It was a rare moment in my haggling.

Great sounding amp that belies its modest price. Tube rolling displays its excellence! Joe is helpful and a good communicator. A bargain!
