yeah, i want to get some audio gear, but im wondering if there's the same kind of sites as for computer gear? like where you get it heaps cheaper than if you went to a physical shop
cos it would be great to get it cheaper

Lots of Ebay audio gear comes from HongKong.
Its all genuine stuff, but the warrenty is in HongKong
So if it fucks up, you have to pay for postage to HongKong, any customs, postage back, and any customs back.

You'll only pay customs on the way in the first time. Replacement stuff should be exempt.

In theory it is.
Depends if they decide to rape you or not.

Depends if the person at the other end ticked the "warranty" or "replacement parts" option on the customs declaration.

http://www.ryda.com.au used to be good, but to be honest I think JB is cheaper. Depends what end of the market though.

one question with soundmaster:
do they do shipping? cos you cant actually buy it over the net like i was looking for, i'd have to ring them then get it freighted up
