Thanks for the info! I was thinking about something like this: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzUsC7C Or is this really not worth it?

Anyone using one of these? I've heard they're useful in eliminating system hum/noise. Any recommendations that aren't too pricey? A quick Google shows that most are available only to order via Ebay or AliExpress.

Appears to be in NOK from the drop-down I selected

Thanks, yes that's a good point to remember. The quote I shared was for air freight, which is why I'm so surprised.

Just discovered JetCarrier - anyone had experience with them shipping speakers from the US? Are the prices they quote using their price calculator accurate? Just over 2000kr for a pair of loudspeakers totalling 44kg seems very reasonable compared to quotes I've got from FedEx/UPS/etc. seems...

Thanks! I actually sent them an email a few days ago, but haven't received a response yet. Will also try giving them a call...

Hello! I've purchased a (secondhand) OTL tube preamp which is currently wired for 120v. The seller says that it is built with a world voltage transformer making it possible to switch it to 240v but will require someone with more technical skill than I to do so. I've confirmed with the...

Hi there. Hope you folks don't mind me asking - I'm curious about the Aura Fidelity Audiophile Signature RIAA and was wondering if anyone has had the chance to compare it to a PS Audio Stellar Phono? I love the PS Audio, but need to replace it with something of a smaller form factor and thought...

Cheers! I imported the Junior 8 XRS' (+a small sub) from Louis earlier this year which cost a small fortune (at least for me) thanks to shipping and import tax. And then about a month ago, the Compact Alnico Monitors showed up on finn, as a name-your-price listing and I came to a good agreement...

Not nearly as impressive as many of the systems throughout this thread, but I have recently become the owner of not one, but two pairs of Omega speakers and wanted to share. I think they look pretty sweet. Although am still breaking/dialing them in to get the best sound - working with...

Anyone travelling from Oslo to Stavanger in the next few days and can possibly bring a small-ish preamp? Happy to help with gas/charging :)

good shout, thank you. have you used this before, is it trustworthy?

Now that it's out of business, anyone know if there's another service like Nimber that can be used to transport items (e.g. speakers without their original boxes) across the country?

Ah cool, I didn't realise they offered this service

Hi! I've recently introduced a subwoofer into my hifi system which can only be connected to my amplifier via speaker-level inputs. It sounds great, but up until this point I've been using some old speaker wire I've had lying around to connect up the sub to get dialed in and make sure I like how...

Sorry, just saw this! Please feel free to DM me or reply in this thread. Very keen to hear your opinion. In the interim I have also put in an order with Louis at Omega for a pair of Junior 8 XRS and am (I'm)patiently waiting for them to arrive in the next month or so...

Thanks for the info. And it's pretty much as I expected. Not to sound shady, but is it common practice to undervalue stuff when importing secondhand? Obviously the risk is there for insurance purposes and even if it was an extra 1000 or so krone on top I think it would om to stomach but once you...

I'm potentially going to purchase a pair of speakers from a private seller outside of Norway (Saudi Arabia, to be exact). I'm a little unfamiliar with how the import tax works for a private transaction like this, rather than just buying from an online retailer. Is there anything I should be...

I think what attracted me to the Omegas -- apart from the fact that they are, indeed, attractive -- is the seemingly relative value for money. They are well-priced (even with the dreaded import tax bump) for a bespoke, single-driver speaker. Sadly, as nice as brands like AudioNote and Cube are...

Thanks for the input! even if you haven't had both Decware and Omega at the same time, it's still very valuable to help understand the limitations. You make a fair point about SPL but these days I don't have much opportunity to crank the volume as I have small kids and tend to stick to more...
