My wife and I will be spending about 3 weeks in Southeast Asia starting in mid-November. I am in need of a new cartridge for my Walker turntable. Given that many high-end cartridges are made in Asia, I am thinking about trying to buy one while we are on the trip. We will be visiting Singapore, Bangkok, and Hong Kong, for a few days at each location. My questions are as follows:
1. Of the 3 cities listed, is shopping, in general, more cost-effective in one compared to the others?
2. Can someone recommend a handful of dealers in these cities to seek out who have a high level of expertise on the analog end of our hobby?
3. Is there anything in particular to watch out for when dealing with dealers in that part of the world?
Thanks for any advice that you might be able to give.
