NEW ZEALANDERS where are we all??

post #1 of 49
Thread Starter 
Just out of curiosity where are all the New Zealanders browsing head-fi?? Are there any at all? Seems to be a lack of all the top end cans walking the streets in this country that i hear of elsewhere leading me to think we are small in number.

Also anyone know of a good place to purchase/test ride decent cans or amps?? jb hi-fi has a serious lack of anything without a sennheiser brand on it (unless you count 'skullcandy' as heaphones)

Will be good to see just whose out there and what equipment you all hold so dear

For all of those thinking 'whats a 'New Zealand'??' its a modest country seated to the east of our beloved Australia

Which is where (to answer your question) most of us live now days...




Perreaux have some nice NZ made amps, and the Plinius range is impressive (though expensive).

haha quite true, not all to hard to see why tbh.

Plinius are indeed making nz proud but places for testing or viewing even are seriously lacking, if around at all from my knowledge.

Would be fantastic if such a place existed as I'm sure they must. I'm not asking for a Yodobashi's in NZ, a small little grotto hidden away somewhere would suffice.

Hey hey.

I'm from Wellington.

We've only got a couple of Kiwis on this board - the only other one off the top of my head that posts frequently is Fraseyboy -.

You're probably familiar with it, but this might help...

AudioEnz - Dealer guides

Loads of dealers depending on what you're after.

'the only one' wow i was right about our rarity. I'm in Auckland, and one from Wellington.

How do you all get around the whole 'won't send overseas' growing popularity? Not exactly many nz distributors

It's not TOO hard to find sellers on the FS forums willing to ship here... Sadly some don't want to.

The community here is so good though. I've had people offer to purchase things in the USA that I can't get here, then send them over to me.

I have posted on Head-Fi whilst in Christchurch...

Damn impressive souvlaki in Christchurch - it's the one thing I miss (as well as Movenpick Ice Cream...)
