Mackie 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2003 (edited) Welcome dude! hope U'll find the tenure here informative and enjoyable. As spoken at Xtremeplace, Tim Chi Building at Sai Yeung Choi street is your best bet. All major hifi dealers are centralized there, much like our own Adelphi. U may also see some scattered around at Wan Chai but it may not worth your time travelling around. Check out this link for more information. http://www.1388.com/articles/place_interest/ List of hifi dealers on HK island: http://www.audiotechnique.com.hk/clientindex/central.html Edited December 2, 2003 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tenson 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2003 I'd just like to give my biggest and warmest recommendations to doing business with Cattylink! I am in the process of ordering some kit from them and their service is absolutely second-to-non! They have replied to every email I have sent them within 5min! Except when I send it at night.. For a business that charges such a modest price they offer amazing service. As one friend that did business with them said: "My dealings with Cattylink could only be described as PERFECT. I dealt with a chap there called Snowy Law. He was helpful to the point where if he could have delivered it to me personally he probably would have." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tenson they have the VAL VP110S TUBE AMPLIFIER amp significantly cheaper than the UK price! kuryakin, nice nick. Reminds me of the Rock Steady Crew of the early 80's.

Tenson, so cattylink.com is a direct-order only site? are the shipping periods/rates reasonable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2003 Kuryakin, why not send an email to cattylink to enquire? Tenson is based in UK and he's happy so far. This is already a good hint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
