Denarips and Vinshine split

Just go to AliExpress, search for Denafrips and you'll know instantly what "grey market" means and how it would destroy a reputable dealer.  

The point is Denafrips sells outside of the dealer network (grey market). For example, Vinshine Audio is currently trying to sell a USED Venus 12th for $3,649. New Venus 12ths are listed on AliExpress for as low as $2,543, Pontus 15th $1,653, Terminator 15th $4,509, Apollo $2,571, etc. I'm no Denafrips expert but I think those are some of their higher-end pieces and the prices seem way below what they cost from an authorized dealer. 

@nonoise says: "Denafrips also sells lessor quality spec'd units that look the same on AliEpxress."

Wow, just another reason to stay away from Denafrips.
