I can only react with a gasp.

This is , of course, not the price that dCS themselves seek but is what your national distributor wants. The UK prices which also include the distributor’s mark up and VAT make an interesting comparison. You can see them online if you google the distributor.

Hi Pete,

Can you please point me to the UK prices? I cannot find them on the website of Absolute Sounds.

Yes, big difference but I would regard it as interesting only. These comparisons are not likely to be precisely like for like and it is really difficult to make a true comparison of goods prices between countries as so many factors other than the item itself may apply n one place and not in another.

A full Vivaldi stack here now costs Euro 151.500, whereas in the UK it costs, converted to Euro, 126.867… A difference of Euro 24.633.

Indeed :wink:
