So, who has ordered Schoeps from Europe lately? Who did you buy from and how was the experience? I'm looking to buy a pair of Schoeps 41 caps. I still have the one and have been looking for a second one for a while. Figured I'd buy a matched pair and sell this single I have.
Thanks.

I have not pulled the trigger yet but I got quotes from funky-junk and pink noise. I had a 3rd quote but they said there was no such thing as a matched pair so I deleted their message. I was being quoted ~$1500 to the door for matched MK41s A-stock

What does FJ stand for? I thought I knew most of the European Schoeps dealers, but that one is new to me

Maybe try Thomann in Germany. They are a big outfit, so they usually have things in stock. Well packed and fast shipping. I have ordered quite a lot from them, although no Schoeps.
Note that the prices displayed are with VAT added; when you put them in your basket and select US shipping, the price will change to reflect no VAT. It looks like an MK41 is $635 at the moment.

Will they match a pair?

Is import duty added by customs? If yes, what's the cost?

I have no idea; send them an e-mail. They have always been responsive in my experience. If you send it through their UK webstore, it will go directly to an English speaker...
As for customs, I haven't looked in some time, but the personal exemption is pretty high and the first big chunk above that level is subject to a fairly modest duty. This would likely be duty-free, but definitely worth checking.

I think Digital Audio Service (from Hamburg, Germany) will sell matched pairs upon request. At least, they did so for my Gefells. Same price as Thomann's.

TTS member jerryfreak (https://taperssection.com/index.php?action=profile;u=836) has an account with Schoeps. With his assistance, I purchased a new matched pair of MK41s two years ago.

Also looking for Euro supplier links, but for Gefell caps. Not to thread hijack; feel free to DM me.

That's where I bought my matched pair MK41

No problem asking about the Gefell caps.
Thanks to those who shared some info.
I'm wondering what the duties will be for a pair of 41's. Maybe 4v's.

Hello I ordered a pair of Mk41s last summer from Thomann. They have them in stock. (Not matched)
Delivered in under 5 days. Import fees were under $100 I think.

I can't praise the people at Digital Audio Service enough! They have always treated me very well. They will usually give you a discount if you order multiple caps. Just ask them about it. However, they do not have most items in stock. Instead, they will order directly from Schoeps for you.
