Apollon NCx500ST Stereo Amplifier Review

[proux]

could i ask anyone who ordered an Apollon in the UK- did you get billed 20% VAT on the cost (including delivery), or did customs add extra charges? (I think they shouldn't, but being a bit paranoid....)

Just getting to grips with all the various choices... so I guess the "Lux" is the same as the basic model with a fancy case, making it quite heavier? Any benefits apart from looks?

I bought the lux version, but mostly just because I thought it looked significantly better than the standard case. Mine doesn't run very hot at all, so I kind of doubt that thermal management is a big factor here.

oh, and the power button moves to the underside of the unit, near the front

UPS charged me 20% VAT on the cost inclusive of delivery, plus a ~£20 brokerage charge. No additional duty was due.

You will likely get an email from UPS while the package is on its way requesting payment before delivery.
