RE: Emergency purchase situation
OK
Nice one, and thasnks for the words but here is a suggestion to save me the money in buying this baby
I have a mate who travels to japan regular. He brought in the MD(at about 30-40% off what you could buy in the US for, if it is worth it (see questions) then I will try to 'explain' this to him for his next trip
The questions:
1. Do we know if there is a big differential in prices for soundcards (partic Yamaha 2416) there and...say the US?
(I know here (Hungary) they want $1200 +3 weeks patience).
The best I have tracked the Yamaha is 599 GBP from Yamaha UK, and someone mentioned $800 for 2416 + AXX44 combo.
2. Is there any spec differences between standard Jp and...say US/European models?
3. Any newer models only available in Jp, that have not been released here yet (V. common in consumer audio)
4. validity of warantees?
5. I am part of the MD list and there are vendors - serious companies and individuals who live in japan/Hong Kong and will take an order and ship it to you. Do we know of any comparissons for soundcard buying
