i still recommend to get ur audiophile headphones in SG...hehe..
no need to bother so many policy dat u guys worry here..

i emailed a US site 2 days ago, the price for 701 is USD 244.42, but cannot ship outsite US. They said they can ship to a US address and ask the person to ship to u.

airbag, when u get from US,does the custom tax u?

are u serious? k701 for 244usd?an u pm me the site?

No. But just dun take it as always you can run away. As far i know, most of us not being taxed coz they help us under declare the price.

can alamaklor?
hehehee!

alamak is at Canada FYI
well todd is a very "caring" dealer. helped us to underdeclare our 701 to let it went thru....

the day my 701 arrives... it was the first time i got something so big directly to my house

it's the northen sound lights dealer as stated on head-fi. USD244 is really very cheap. Try to ask todd to match him..not sure if he will do it tofr international...but give it a shot!

well. good and cheap, better buy through internet, just wonder if really something happen who m i going to look for replacements.

hehe, i agree, local distributer are seriously making alot selling headphones. cause i think the market is really niche, and seldom they get customer buying high end headphones.

so that is why i became a victim of kena tipu berlambak duit. anyway i wont bother shooting them, just that alamaklor said, u want rm 10 mc d , fly back malaysia loh, i still think singapore is the best bet to get better price headphone, since a day trip using the train is so convinient.

anyway why not, thinking of it , but how about bulk buy ? will kena tax a not?
i know is that if u buy 1 piece or 2 pieces, most proberbly u wont get tax, as long as u open them. and best of all use them. depends lah, i see i got johor business trip in future i might drop by some shopes in singapore.
just cross the border.
if u buy a box during the raya month, u sure kena tax kau kau, cause the incomtax officer wants some bonus for his raya.

can i come visit u when i m kk sometime, to test on ur 701 ? hehe, just asking a favour

If you're gonna bulk it from Singapore, might as well get them from the US if they're that much cheaper
Unless you're willing to travel to SG for warranty claims

Did you ask him to under declare for you?

headphones still kena tax right?
so if buy from singapore also will kena tax right?

wear them along the way out loh, most slightly wont kena. cause u are using them mah. i think lah. last time i buy shoes also i wear them when coming into the country. they usually wont suspect.

it is depends on ur luck.. My bro brought in headphones keep in box...
Make sure u keep it inside ur bag.

Neva in plastic bag... if tos paper bag or plastic bag u sure will be halt to check...

if no choice, dun bring back the box.

the last time i bought my ipod from singapore... i leave the box in mcdonald's singapore. ahahaa! dunno which suckers thought he/she found a free ipod.

i put the ipod in my pocket and came back without the box.

yeah u also know how to escape what.

well im actually testing my k 601 with a marantz integrated amp pm 43, i very old model, black one, has a headphone output, i just forgeotten that it has a headphone output untill just now while driving home.

now testing it with the regular music that i have been listening through the soundcard.

man this 601 sure does perform well with the correct amplification. i havent heard with the ld 2 + maybe when i free i drop by in yeah_guyz place and test run it.

not bad for a 601, i m also proud.

Shouldnt be any problem bringing back a single unit kua...
Even with the box, just put them seperately and tell them you brought them from Msia originally la

ttvj replied my email liao.
the price for the AKG k701 + shipping to malaysia is $359 = RM 1322.12
and i asked the price for the 325i as well... saja gatal $295 = RM 1086.42

i am rubbing my hands now... my littledot micro where art thou?

woo....obviously 325i is a best bang~!...

325i no need to worry bout to amp it or not, imo...

AKg701, i am worry bout its pushing power wif LDM+ only. Somewhere i read bout LDM+ can performance quite well along wif AKG701.

If not mistaken, it was from LD official website..haha...
