NAD is available via regular regular resellers so I could get one with zero shipping fees.
That doesn’t sound too bad, since we left the EU to get something imported to the U.K. we now have to hand our over our ballsSince our main EU competitor charges a kidney, we thought that leg + arm would be reasonable
Sounds like you’ve decided not to buy an amplifier from @boXem | audio and want to tell everyone. I’m sure he’d love to sell you an amp but no one is forcing you to buy one . @boXem | audio is a small manufacturer building a premium product in small volumes. The prices are very reasonable whe factoring for that.
Let's say their prices for the products are fair. 77 eur as shipping fees for less than a 1000 km courier journey within the EU is outright marking up their product in a hidden way.
You told me 68 in MP. But I agree that's quite expensive. In fact shipping to some Asian countries or US would be cheaper.
I'm pretty sure @Phorize was kidding (as obvious as it was).
Well, Luxembourg post does it at least 25 eur cheaper. Still quite high but considering the wages level in Luxembourg I guess it's acceptable.
I made one shipping with Luxembourg Post. Took 2.5 weeks to UK before brexit, tracking was not updated, spent 45 minutes at the post office,... Cheaper indeed.
OK, fair enough. It's expensive AF but mainly due to how much the courier company is charging so it's not directly your fault.
I do wonder how cheap we want couriers to be. A major factor in the Brexit vote was the enormous dependence on the ‘gig’ economy, with millions of people trapped under a glass ceiling. And those petrol queues you saw on TV? Turns out that the gig economy doesn’t deliver the most resilient national infrastructure. Chronic under investment in critical infrastructure undermines the fabric of civil society. Personally i won’t use couriers whose prices depend on my neighbours having to live like serfs.

Up to now the function had been integrated to the buffer with specific interfaces to the amp modules. So not really DIYer friendly.Do you sell this "audio sense modul" alone without an amplifier?(for DIY justr for people who just have an amplifier:?
At the mnoment i use Ice extend modules.They have 5 volt and 12 volt triggers, 5 Volt aux and a symetric audio sense,but they are out of production....

They also gives "universal mains" to hypex 1200 modules.(but i dont need).
In my opinion there is nothing better thann audio sense.....( i have 7.3.4 and will upgrade to 7.4.6) ,but when i hear music i hear stereo.So all other amplifiers (that would not be needed shut down ..

How far is a Hypex NC252 amp from a Purifi amp? I don't need this huge power as Purifi has, but what about the sound quality?You have Acoustic Research AR11 speakers.

If I am you, I would first focus on trying to improve the loudspeakers. If not, Hypex NC252 or NC502 is enough.
The cheap option:
