comparing 2 same amps (old vs new)

[gaussianmist]

To the OP: since one amp was bought 6 months later, were there any difference in price (Maybe attributable to tariffs)?

The price has increased by about $150+ for the amp itself (import/tariff fees already baked in)... but I paid about the same, there was a big discount coupon for December... as well as a shipping option from another seller for sea-based freight, which is considerably cheaper than Fedex/UPS/DHL Express. It did take 4 weeks to arrive, instead of just 5-6 day transit on the first amp I purchased. (my total cost was just under $750, taxes/import fees & shipping included)

Note that purchasing from AliExpress, if it says "import fees" included means you don't have to pay additional tariffs when the item arrives (I mean, that's my experience)

Thanks.
I did notice that some pics of the 406 appear to differ i.e. VU is framed and other times unframed in Ali adds . Is that so?

didn't notice that, but I did purchase from 2 different vendors... both look exactly the same. I can PM you the exact vendor I got the last one from
