I have been extremely busy issuing quotes for our international friends. I apologize if i have taken longer than usual, the volume is intense.  In the past few weeks we have added some unusual countries, including Bermuda and the Azore Islands. (you might need to get your map out for that one, we did) Today we have our first official order for Seoul, South Korea! fyi shipping an xpa-5 to Seoul is $158.55 (what a bargain) Well should get back to a few more quotes before i sign off. Ha en god dag, Norway! |

Cathy, It is cool to hear you get such fun from the international destinations and not a bad way to keep your geography knowledge intact. I hope you have a world map with pins on all your international conquests! ;D

Today we have our first official order for Seoul, South Korea! Oh my! Wait until the Emotiva reputation gets around South Korea. The Korean people are very frugal. Here comes a big boost in sales! ;D |

Hi Cathy and all I'm from the mentioned unusual country (LOL), which is Portugal, but I live at the Azores islands, which belongs to Portugal (next to Spain). The Azores archipelago are composed by 9 islands and are located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Althow we are Portuguese because we are phisically separared from Portugal mainland we are considered autonomous regions with our own government and laws. Of course we obey to Portugal mailand government. Unfortunatelly due to our geografical position normally all items coming from abroad goes first to Lisbon city (Portugal capital city) and then takes another plane (or ship) to the Azores islands, this encreases transports to unusual prices. Nevertheless I belong to some hi fi foruns at Portugal mailand and all of them are really excited about Emotiva and are waiting for me to receive the UPA-2 to make a complete review. I believe that my review will be fantastic and that this influence them to buy Emotiva gear, but this is a forecast as I didn't receive it yet, but they are all very impressed for what they seen at the Emotiva page and can't wait for my review, in fact I can't wait too!! Also now I realised that Cathy is extremelly busy...sorry for my constant mails. Thank you for creating this section and all the best for everyone at Emotive and all this "comunity" all around... Please visit Azores at: www.azores.com |

Hi sticknstones
Thanks for the compliment. I really like this kind of foruns, it's a clever and fast way to improve your knowledge (audio in this case) and to make friends.
Also a way to get free consulting...LOL
Anyone who's coming to the Azores will never forget it, as the website says:
"THE AZORES ISLANDS ARE NOT JUST A DESTINATION BUT A MAGICAL JOURNEY"
Please note that I do not work for tourism bureau or simliar, it's just the plain truth of this place.
The only think I dislike it's the distance, being islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean doesn't bring here some high end audio stuff that I really would like to see...
All the best

I have also received phone calls this week from Seoul, Korea, Germany, several customers in Australia and Morten called from here in the States . During his visit, he picked up a usp-1 to take home with him, nice souvenier ;D I don't want to leave anyone out this week so here are most of the countries we quoted: India Pakistan Israel Greece several italy France several Spain Denmark several Sweden Nethlands Germany lots of new ones! Slovakia Portugal Malaysia is hot right now South Korea several Australia tons Canada Brazil Uraguay NEW Hong Kong Singapore is hot too! Dubai Mexico Ireland Uk Switzerland and of course we always receive the most from Norway! Off to dinner Takk Cathy |

Hi Cathy,
With international orders encreasing, woudn't to be considered having a European power cord type instead of shipping the gear with American power cords that will not work for such countries (like mine)?
I leave here the suggestion...

We were upgraded to business class on the flight home, so that was very pleasant. :-) I haven't fully tested the USP yet, but it powers on and it looks beautiful. I have uploaded some pictures from my Florida trip: emotivalounge.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=off&action=display&thread=7567&page=1 |

I leave here the suggestion... That is actually a great idea. You should just buy a boatload of them, and pass on the extra expense (a few $ a piece I imagine) to the international customers. |

Hi,
Actually I think it might even not have an added expense because it would have just to change the power cord on the mains end by an European type plug?
I'm considering buying a better power cord, like the QED Conduit which costs around 50 euros and it's always an upgrade from the power cords that comes with gear, in fact the What Hi fi gave it 5 stars, so it's a real upgrade...
