Tyro Audiophile with questions

Nevermind about dealers/distributors, the voltage in Romania will be 220/230v plus they have purchase tax (VAT) around 20%, plus import taxes from outside the EU at ??? depending on origin.

You should be able to import to Romania a one time household effects (tax free) container provided you have a work permit/long term visa etc.

So I would buy everything from the US if you can get universal or 220/230v voltages. Otherwise buy online and bring to the US. I expect if you contact some manufacturers in the US and ask for a 220/230v model you’ll probably get it.

Speakers don’t have voltage requirements.

Whatever you need to plug into the wall will need a Schuko plug ended cable or if you want to use your US cable take a US socket.

Happy Trails!

The retailer or dealership obtains the various product lines they carry from the distributor. A distributor can be thought of as an importer, representative, or middle man of the various brands that are eventually shipped , upon request, to the retailer or dealership to replenish stock or inventory, or to fulfill a special order. You as the consumer, generally cannot buy anything from a distributor.

Dealers buy and sell goods.  Distributors buy and sell goods to and from other businesses..  When your buddy sold you an extra copy of a comic that he had, he is a dealer.  If he supplies that comic to others to sell in various locations he is a distributor

Generally, a dealership is retail and a distributor is wholesale. 

Buy in USA ASAP!!

You can do your shopping online for audio gear when you move to Romania.
