Hello
My name is Kido, I am new to this forum. I write from the beautiful city of Algiers.
I am also new to the audiophile world, although I have always been interested in gadgets and hifi gear.
Short term, I would like to assemble a set of kit that would allow me to experience high quality audio content on the go.
For us folks living in Africa, it is much harder to find audiophile products locally. We often have to import and pay hefty shipping and customs charges, and returns are not practical. Even companies that have a good reputation elsewhere, cannot and do not, for logistics reasons, offer the same level of service everywhere on our continent.
Therefore we have to think twice before making a purchase: we usually don't enjoy the convenience of returning a product to Amazon when it does not suit our needs, nor can we easily take advantage of warranty like folks do in Europe and North America do. This means researching products is a must before purchase.
I hope to find support with my purchasing decisions, and as I grow and learn in the audiophile world, to offer advice to others as well.
Thank you and have a great day.
