Go to Google and search up “Australia audio used online”. That should help.
Aussie HiFi Market
I'm trying to gain some insight into the Australian HiFi market from a buyer's perspective, namely:
Used Gear: How is used gear traded in AUS? Is there an online platform specific to AUS or are Aussies using the same platforms as the US e.g. Agon, US/Canuck Audio Mart? If latter, how was your experience importing gear from North America including any info on tax, duties, tariffs?
Go To Retailers: Who are the knowledgeable and trusted retailers of high end HiFi gear? Is it typical to ask for a discount on expensive gear or is it culturally not a thing in AUS
Aussie Brands: Any made in Australia brands you would highly recommend?
Cables: Do companies like Nordost or Kubala Sosna make Australian power cables or are people using US/UK cables with adapters or power distributors?
Aussie HiFi Clubs and Associations: Any local HiFi club, association, newsletter, forum you would recommend?
Other: Any other advice or pointers are highly appreciated
Clearly by now all Aussies reading this will know I'm not from Australia so please excuse my ignorance of your market. Many thanks

+1 @milpai Likewise Google Australia audio brands, Australia audio clubs, and tariff ms from US to Australia. Do your own research vs asking us to do it for you or having us explain it to you. Cables - look at manufacturers websites to see if they terminate to AUS which is Type 1 Reviews of retailers is a mixed bag- like those who report negative experiences may be much more vocal than those with positive experiences. Dealers have an incentive to make sales to compensate for their time, not to give you global advice. So it’s best to be prepared by researching component reviews ahead of time. |
