REVIEW: DARKVOICE 3322
Dec 11, 2009 at 3:46 PM Post #333 of 492
Outrageous in what way? Their price, around £145, in very reasonable. E-bay prices range from between £160 to a truly outrageous £206 (plus delivery).

Like you, I had a very positive experience with BOYIER. Their price for the 3322 beat everyone else's, and delivery was extremely fast.

Godkin,

My point was that Boyier's shipped price (for Figaro 336) to US is $295. and the seller's on Ebay (US) comes to $440.

For the 3322 the difference—that is, if someone wins it at the $399. starting point—is much less: Boyier $460., the other $490. ($570. if bought at the $480. “Buy It Now”).

I do understand that buyers in other countries, with all the added taxes, duties, etc., pay much, much more for foreign electronics than we do in the US. My comment was in no way meant to be insensitive to that fact.

Woah boyier prices include shipping? this whole time I always thought they charge extra for it, I was too lazy to make an account and find out how much. I cannot wait for them to get the 332S in. Btw there are pics of the 332C up on headphones lafigaro darkvioce amps YUKING AUDIO

I see now that you used the word outrageous ironically rather than critically.

I tend to use it prejoratively, so I viewed your comment as meaning the prices were excessive and unreasonable.

One of the reasons I buy hifi from China is that here in the UK we pay nothing for VAT or import duty. I was going to buy an amp recently from a Canadian dealer but the import duty, although not exorbitant, still put me off.

Godkin, thanks for your understanding. But...

...I thought that you gents, having The Queen in common with Canada and all

, would be getting some import duty breaks with goods coming from there.

Commonwealth Realm, no? Is Canada misbehaving, you think? (It's Québec. Again! Huh?

No such luck!

As I said, the import duty was not excessive (about £30) but it was a major factor when it came down to deciding on which amp to buy. I'm actually surprised our money-grabbing government hasn't closed the Chinese loophole yet!

Prefer the looks of the original 332 myself, still love mine 2 years on. They do make great amps.

The design of the LA FIGARO and DARKVOICE amps are, in my humble opinion, more suited towards high impedance headphones. The general view on these forums seems to support this, although some have reported that the 3322 and 337 sound great with the K701s and D5000s.


3322 and 332 is applicable for 32 - 600 ohms ,preferably about 300 ohm 'headphones.
