Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B

I am certain Tom will ship directly to you from the UK or I could arrange for delivery to you as I am always happy to help the brand globally.  
If you were merely being polite, cheers and good luck.  Understand completely.  

gsm18493,

Thanks.

Yes... the tube rolling is "another hobby" inside this audiophile crazy hobby... lol...

verdantaudio,

Thanks for your offer.

Be an audiophile here in Brazil is very difficult. Our customer tax, with an "personal importation", are the 100%... insane...

If I buy an equipament and pay for you, for example, U$5k, I will need to pay more U$5k in tax.

And I will need pay another tax over freight too...

Even with dealer, if you pay U$10K for an audio gear, here I will pay, in better scenario, U$ 15k for the same audio gear.

Best.

I few months before I bought an Dr, Freickert Protractor buying direct from Dr. Freickert in Germany.

Even this protractor being very light with a small package, after all I pay 1K euros for the Protractor.

Imagine an power amp heavy and expensive...

Best.

Wow, that is miserable.  I wish you luck in terms of finding the right amp.  Good news is Shindo and Air Tight are not average amps and you aren't settling with either of them.  

Have you thought about the Luxman?  It is phenomenal and ships with Takasuki's?

Luxman would be an excellent choice. But unfortunately it is, at least here, in another price class.

Our Luxman dealer charges a price that makes it much more expensive than Shindo and Air Tight.

The Air Tight itself can, at a higher cost, be ordered with the Takatsuki.

I've been following some topics about the 300b valve and, once I choose the power, I'll have another fun guaranteed with tube rolling.

Best.
