Thank you LFF, I will pick the FA-002 for relax sessions, and the FA-011 for the fun, unfortunately the EU distributor (in Spain) only have the FA-002, but I think it will be fine for me with both.

Get the 002 then. You can always buy wooden cups for them later. Espero que los disfrutes!

May I ask why you do not purchase from GD Audiobase? They are the main international distributor. It is true, though. You can upgrade those FA-002s to Ws for only $50 plus shipping for the Beech 5 step version. I'm pretty sure that the difference between 5 step and 8 step is fairly minor.

yes, it's only $50 more, but I have to consider PT custom (23% VAT + other custom costs), and they'll become much more expensive.
I'm already considering custom costs for FA-011 since I have to buy it from GD-Audiobase.
Right now it is a cost that I can't pay, even being a good advice from you.

From the EU distributor I don't pay any extra costs.

best,

Actually the 5-steps cups was some old version of cups, now we mainly focus on 8-steps. Thats just because it makes more difference. Its not all about steps, also the newer cups have altered thickness and overall inside geometry is a little different.

I imported FA-011s into UK and did not pay a dime pf customs. Should it not be the same for all EU countries?

I'm getting some from another head-fi user in the US, hopefully i'll skip customs charges too.

Hi
 
[size=9pt] Here, in Portugal, Customs Services charge everything they can. They always openned my stuff that came from outside EU. and I payed taxes for it almost everytime also. I payed duties even for my cheap Brainwaz M2 that I bought from mp4nation. Unfortunately I think is not the same for all EU countries.[/size]

That is crap. Maybe in this case it would be easier to buy it from the for sale forum or organize a group buy to UK or somewhere where no duties would have to be paid and then just distribute the items around.

[size=9pt] I'll leave feedback about customs by the time I receive them (I'm not 100% sure that I'll have to pay) Right now, I'll consider that I'll pay it. If I don't, that will be a nice surprise!!![/size]

Anyone know if a PA2V2 would power these? or will they require something more powerful?

I have the PA2V2 and in my opinion they work pretty well together though I'm pretty sure the FA-011 wouldn't mind a more powerful amp.
