In Europe:

There is a drop down menu in the upper right corner where you can choose English.

There is also a US reseller: http://avlex.com/superlux-products/

FWIW.

Email I got from Avlex:

Hi Dan,
The S502 is in stock. It retails for $260.
As the distributor, we don’t sell direct. Our representative in your area is High Road Sales. They should be able to find a local dealer who can assist with this.

Please let me know if you have any problem.
 
Thanks for inquiring about Superlux.

High Road was copied on the email; haven't heard a word from them.

Was thinking about picking up another set of mics in the yard sale, but curiosity (and my wallet) got the best of me.  I pulled the trigger on this. High seller rating for what that's worth. I have a feeling I'm going to wish I forked over the $18 for the two year warranty:

Fine!

I think you could be very happy with a Rycote INV-7 HG MkIII shockmount. And Rycote's BBG 22 mm fit perfectly (you have to check the capsule position with the BBG opened the first time).
I know: that's expensive...

Yeah I'm going to need to do something, I heard the stock shockmount is crap
