Re: Advice please on (cheap) valve headphone amplfier
I haven't tried one.... but at 40 quid you won't be out much if it ain't great.

I have a parcel from a big supplier in the USA that is properly set up for customs etc. in Shannon at present. The last 10 deliveries have been smooth as butter, but this time my parcel has b...

Re: Orders from usa
Sometimes Fedex send you a bill afterwards. The kicker there is the 18e they charge for admin fees. The whole thing is a minefield but for what its worth, addresspal is the best solution for buying stuff from UK or USA where the seller is not fully set up to charge VAT etc. In other words all smalle...
