    Bump and a question.

    Has anyone bought one of these recently off ebay.

    There is a seller in belgium.
    But not sure ifhe ships from belgium or china.
    The listing mentions import charges which does not correspond with being in belgium, but may be avgeneric listing he uses.

    So, has anyone used bim, and were there import charges?

    Thanks

    It will depend on who you get it from. If it comes from belguim then no import tax so obviously its coming from china or he is at it.
    I never paid any for mine from china snail mail.

    I bought mine from a Belgian seller - it came in a few days from .... Belgium! So no import charges or VAT added.
    Not sure who the seller was, it was over 60 days ago so not visible any more in my eBay purchase listing.

    I bought one from Hong Kong via ebay.

    I got hit for customs and the DAC had a channel imbalance that I needed to repair as the cost of a return to HK was too much.

    Still, we got it going in the end by replacing a few of the dodgy no name caps and it sounds really good via the SS output.

    I would def buy from the seller in Belgium...

    I think it sounds better with a Western Electric 396A in the valve output section.

    I'm not selling mine. Keeping it as a backup.
