Aspect Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Well, I tried to get the 9.8 in the country, but that didn't happen, but now the new version - DHC 9.9 IS being locally distributed! There was a lot of interest in the 9.8 at the time. It's been a while since that happened, and people may have bought something else in the meantime, but I'm interested to see who would be in for a group buy?? Same rules apply to all my other group buys; DO NOT PM ME, EMAIL ME. My email address can be found in my profile. Make sure you have INTEGRA as the subject line. The Group buy (if there's enough interest) will be for an Australian distributed Integra DHC-9.9, so retains full warranty. Supply will be through a specialist store. Shipping Australia wide is no problem, and will a minimal cost. As usual, I will have ni involvement with the money side of things. I've only just got my Marantz 8002, so as yet am unsure if I'll get an Integra yet. If I don't, then I'll just run this for the warm and fuzzy feeling. Price? Firm price is not yet determined, but the discount will be substantial. BUT, don't expect anything unrealistic like 50% Cheers, Chris Edited October 20, 2008 by Prior
Shonky* Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) You might want to clarify DTR-9.9 or DHC-9.9 Also, you want people to use the MSN Messenger email address? I didn't see any other email address? Edited October 20, 2008 by Shonky*
Aspect Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Good point Shonky. First post updated. As for the email, just hit the "Send Email" button. It'll send me a message through the forum to the correct address. I don't have a problem giving out my address, I'm just trying to avoid the bots that trawl forums... Cheers, Chris Edited October 20, 2008 by Prior
mquin1503560492 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 interested (will send email later) but any idea what the RRP is estimated to be ?
GSpot Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Yep, I'm interested too. Been hanging out for something to connect to my Theatron (another well organised Prior group buy) The RRP does have me worried though. Perhaps with Prior's negotiating skills, we can get this down to something reasonable. There is no way I can afford it otherwise.
Aspect Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 The RRP is $3900 or thereabouts. I should have a good idea of the GB price by the end of the week...hopefully... Cheers, Chris
Aspect Posted October 23, 2008 Author Posted October 23, 2008 There hasn't been a HEAP of interest in this (<10), so I don't think the discount will be as good as we've been able to secure in the past, purely due to quantities, but we'll see what can be accomplished. Cheers, Chris
Shonky* Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Is there any chance of other products maybe? DTR-9.9 might interest others. A high end processor only is always going to have fairly low interest.
Drizt Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Is there any chance of other products maybe? DTR-9.9 might interest others. A high end processor only is always going to have fairly low interest. Thats a good idea.. might drum up more interest.
brisvegas1 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Thats a good idea.. might drum up more interest. I am def. interested in the DTR 9.9
Guest anders3n Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Hi Chris, I am interested but my email to you was kept being rejected.
brodricj Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Me too. PriceJapan is showing $4532 AUD delivered for the DHC9.9, but I suspect there will be GST on top of that. So the RRP shown in the first post is very good. It will be a toss up between this and the Cary 11a, I'm looking for best audio and functionality (don't need video switching).

BladeRnR Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 $3850:00AUD as quoted by Klapp Electronics (Melbourne). Mail sent.
OzHTfan Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I was trying to find out up until today as I hadn't seen any threads,whether the DHC-9.9 was going to be released here. Ironically, I got confirmation about an hour before reading this thread. I'm going to move to one for sure, so I can move away from using an 8.8 receiver as a pre. By the sound of it I would say it's going to cost me similar to my DTR-8.8 via my direct channels- which as around $2800.
Mr_Independent Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I am "def". interested in the DTR 9.9 Maybe you should turn it down then Seriously though, if anyone is interested I just received this email from the importer in relation to the DTR 9.9; Thanks for your email. The DTR 9.9 is $4995 and is now available. Many thanks Kind Regards, Stephen Small Sales Administration Manager – Lifestyle Entertainment _____________________________________ Amber Technology Limited Unit B, 5 Skyline Place, Frenchs Forest NSW 2086 Australia P: +61 (0) 2 9452 8600 F: +61 (0) 2 9975 1368 E: ssmall@ambertech.com.au W: www.ambertech.com.au
Aspect Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Well, I'll have a chat to the retailer, but the discounts are usually better for the SAME model, but I'll see. Cheers, Chris
shockvalue Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Could someone explain the difference between DHC 9.9 and DTR 9.9?. I'm getting a tad confused now with this thread. Thanks David
cwt Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Could someone explain the difference between DHC 9.9 and DTR 9.9?. I'm getting a tad confused now with this thread.Thanks David The DHC is the pre/pro ; you need a seperate power amp ; the DTR is an avr with the power amp built into the same chassis
brodricj Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 The DTR 9.9 is $4995 and is now available. We are talking about DHC 9.9 in this GB, aren't we??
OzHTfan Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) I ordered a DHC-9.9 yesterday from Amber. Ended up being about $100 less that what my DTR-8.8 cost me last year. Should have it on Monday. That retail price(on the DTR-9.9 at least) is unfortunately a killer, it would have stopped me in my tracks. Glad I can buy direct. Edited October 31, 2008 by OzHTfan
Aspect Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 Hi guys, apologies for not following this up sooner! I've been flat out with work and haven't given it a second thought...till now... Anyway, I've sent an email to all those that expressed interest. We have confirmed pricing, and that's included in the email. This price is doable for as many or as few people that decide to take up the offer. if we get over 10 people commit, I'll see if there's any more room to move. Also, a few people have asked for other models in the Integra range, and the retailer is willing to open up the GB to those, so this now becomes an INTEGRA Group buy, and not just limited to the DHC-9.9. I don't have pricing on any of the other models, but I am happy to chase it up if enough interest is shown. Cheers, Chris
glennl Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 I would be interested in the DTR-9.9. I will send through an email. Cheers.
glennl Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Hi Chris, I tried sending an email regarding the DTR-9.9 but it won't send. Can you send me an email to the email listed in my profile. Cheers Glenn
