One of the hitches is power; U.S. 110 vs Euro 220. My suggestion was to wire his studio so all the power goes through a common convertor (Lamba or whatever) that recieves 220 and has modules for 110 or even guitar effect voltages. I think Guitar Center ships internationally and there probably won't be any taxes. If you can purchase from one vender, it might be possible to put small devices into the same shipping carton as the mixer. Although, that could void the warranty of the mixer--not sure. Guitar Center is the largest U.S. retailer. I forget the total number of stores in N. America but it's probably a couple hundred and maybe alot more than that. If a sales rep in L.A., California isn't helpful enough, then contact a different one in New York City. Sam Ash is the second largest U.S. retailer. And have some fun, work them over as though they are stealing your money. These damned wallet vacumes...oh, don't even get me started. ron > I'm looking at getting a mixer and a Delta 1010LT > however I noticed some > sites such as http://www.zzounds.com/ don't ship > internationally. > > Cheers, > Glenn > > > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
