Nope I didn't know that, after you said I did look at the new HRMC import tariffs, these seem to indicate a 0% on electronics from China. Do you have a link to the removal of the £15 concession? Glad I bought the amp this year now.
Thanks, I am based in the UK. The difficultly I'm having is the style of the smd connections, it has five pins on one side of the connector and five on the other. For example Mouser seems to show the MOLEX 52610 connector matching this pin configuration but RS shows all the connections on one...
I was a little heavy handed opening my amp up:-( and damaged the FFC (FPC) ribbon cable connector onto the main board. Can anyone point me at a replacement part?
