How much are the duties for a 4A shipped to the US approximately? thx

 
In the US, the duty fee is levied according to the dollar value of the item (excluding freight & shipping costs), and the final price of the 4.A depends on your customization options. I paid approx. $30, roughly 17% of the cost of my 4.A.

  Absolutely, Tom.. your impressions are among the chief reasons I went with the 4.A.  I really do hope you make it an 'official' review cause it was very insightful.  It can be hard describing a phone that, essentially, sounds like 'nothing' (i.e. very neutral).. but your points of emphasis really sold it for me.

  Yes please, I think a lot of us would enjoy reading that. 

 
I'll try --- I've been quite busy though. It's hard to get into the rhythm of writing when doing other things simultaneously. I also wanted to wait until I got my plugs redone, since they're a little loose. Honestly, though, my thoughts are quite similar to those from project86. Your review was pretty much in concert with what I thought of the 4.A!

Flysweep... I notice you have a Neco Soundlab V3... any chance you could give me your impressions on this portable-amp (& if you got the upgrade op-amps or not), his feedback on ebay is phenomenal but that doesn't say anything about SQ if you get my drift, cheers.

I surely can, bud.  I recommend dipping into the Neco V2 amp thread (V3 chatter starts on page 5) to get some thoughts on it from me as well as others who own the V3.  I've got photos and some of strong, affinity-laden impression there.  I've been prepping a full blown review of this fantastic little amp.. I need to finish it up.
 
Neco's a fantastic guy to deal with.. super responsive, polite, and honest.

The V3 looks really nice, by the time I would get all of the upgrades and ship it to the states for around 50 more I could get the Leckerton UHA 6S MK II.  Is there anyone who has both who can compare?

Just wondering, but has anyone gotten one of Heir's CIEMs with the woven grass face plate or coconut wood? Both of those look awesome.

Look, or sound awesome? If it's look, I really want to see pics!

If you head over to our Facebook page (see the link in my signature) you can find photos of both.
 
Here's an example of the woven grass faceplates (note that the Wizard weaves the grass himself):

Impressive. Not really my style, but attractive nonetheless.

To date there has only been one CIEM made, using the finest home grown materials from the Golden Traingle. Swimming across the Mekong River with a bag grass in the middle of the night is no easy task.

I personally think the woven grass one is really special and attractive.  Really impressed by wizard's design.

 

[tinyman392]

Most definitely is impressive  Goes across the river to steal some grass then weaves it all in a day's work

I wonder if you could get faceplates with the face of Benjamin Franklin - cut from real dollar bills, off course.

Wow, not my cup of tea, but really impressive anyway! The man is a wizard and a weaver!!!

Great idea! And it seems highly feasible! I couple of bills wouldn't mind much!
