what do you think, is there a chance to find korgpa50 under 999USD any time soon? i believe with the new models coming out on market, the prices for the other should decrease a little bit... and do you know, do the internet sellers form america ship also in other countries, for instance romania? and for how much, i wonder...

...or is it a tabu ? :P

Hello Adimatis, the Korg PA 50 is a new model(only a few months old), even is a replacement of the PA 60 minus couple features, and is made in China and that is the reason is in a much lower price of the antecesor PA 60(made in Italy), so I do not think is going to be replace any time soon, couple years perhaps....and as far goes buying over internet, first, I would check out if in europe is available, the shipping overseas is a killer, you probably pay as much for that, than for the keyboard.

thank you mdorantes, since i decided to buy a pa50, i would probably ask some of my friends in states to buy it and next time when he comes in romania to bring it with him. in here anyway i would pay like 1200 euro, and this is quite a difference i believe! hopefully there is no problem with custom services or something!
all the best !

Please....Warning!! something VERY important to consider.....the electric current that is use in United States is 117......in Europe is 220....you make sure you have a converter for the AC, other wise, you will fry the keyboard.

yes, it's true... accidents like that happens sometimes! but there is some kind of adapter, is the same size as the keyboard's adapter and is very good for all purposes. but i also could by an adapter separately from korg.
you know, i should be carefull anyway, since i want to buy all this stuff from america, the price is almost half, mixer, arranger, etc. already bought studio microphone and audio card...
after all, i am a pour guy!


best to you!

Adimatis,
check out german stores, they have PA50 at about 1000 Euros, including VAT.
You probably can't use a generic adapter with a US imported arranger. Also, some voltage converters introduce hum and noise.
ALSO, you will probably have to pay import taxes.

Synthplanet over in Belgium lists it for 812.00 Euro

didn't you get my mail ???
as Guardman mentions quite correctly you can get it from Belgium at 820 euros, that is of course excluding the cost of shipment.
It will certainly be substantially cheaper than getting it from the States, I don't honestly understand why you would want to do that.
good luck
john

good thing about PA50 is it uses/comes with 12v adapter(like yam's KBs).not DC like it's previous models.so any solid 12v adapter with will do the job.No DC.no frying risks and no need to buy expensive converters.

another tip-buy the converter in US .(in US) 220 to 110 converter is always cheaper(10-17$) than 110 to 220(34$).(eg.in stores like radioshack etc).
