Dolphin? (Nusystems will always price-match, I gather!!)

Are you getting the shockmounts with them?
Yup, shockmounts are included, and the soft bag. I have plenty of old
cases I can put them in, so I'm not fussed about that - or cables, I
them coming out of ears.


I also don't need extra cables and pop filters but I never turn down
freebies...!! :-)

I've emailed Arny's mates for a price to the UK (I don't have too many
suitable cases)

but expect the shipping will kill it! (The weight of the freebie cables, I
expect! :-)

Don't forget the dreaded import duty either.


Oh, **** - I did forget that....

:-)


And don't forget 17.5% VAT on the *total* price, goods, carriage and any
duty. My understanding is that UK Customs don't bother to collect VAT
on items worth less than £ 100 ex VAT. I once got caught with a set of
DVDs from the US, the cost was £102 or thereabouts, and I got a bill for
the VAT. Duty is normally only a few percent, often zero, but some
strange items can be very high. For example, at one time a tape recorder
was zero rated whilst a tape player was 18%. All the NAB cart machines
we imported were record versions.......

Of course.... :-)

I've contacted the outfit on the link Arny posted and they've quoted 52 odd
bucks UPS Air Parcel and said that they mark all such overseas shipments at
a helpful price (about half) but I'll have to see how it stacks up - I ain't
got all the spare kit/cases Don's got and wouldn't sniff at a pair of
freebie 20' cables - I got stoked about 30 quid a go for the 10' cables I've
got...!!

(No need for pop filters either, but you never know with 'plosives' - I just
might get the job of recording a nice little local Bimbo Band...!! ;-)

Anyway, it still hangs on cashflow atm....
