Paying taxes/duty on used goods purchased in Canada
This is also a Canada to US deal and I am using UPS. What is this brokerage fee! That concerns me.

Jazz, I am using Neotech NC 311 ac connectors on closeout at Sonic Craft at great prices.....over 50% off.

Jet, thanks so much for your suggestion of the Canare RCA connectors. They are just wonderful filling my room with beautiful and enveloping mids. I do prefer them to the Switchcraft to be sure. They are so very inexpensive also! Just a nice upgrad... 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
The WE wire is the very best value in all audio...period. I am thankful for it and many other more important things this Christmas. Merry Christmas!

Jet, thanks for the tip! Now I won't be discouraged on first listen.

Jazz, I made three sets of your 3a version and love them! I used the 10ga also. I also,p use the 10ga for speaker cables. I find them better than the 16ga doubled up.  
B&W 803D crossover caps
I use the Jupiter copper caps and have never had an issue. You will never have an issue in a speaker crossover as there is no heat. Heat is the only factor of concern with these caps. I use them in tube amps with heat and still no problems. I have...

Ok Jet, I ordered a set of the f10s to use on my WE ICs. I compared my WE ICs to an $800 set and the WEs won handily to my ears. Looking forward to midrange improvement of the F10.

Do you mean WE16 with Canare? Are the Belden with Canare now as good as the WE16 with Canare? I would like to try the Canare on one set of ICs, either the WE or Belden. Thanks Jet. 
Your "eureka" digital moment
FYI folks I did clean the records! This was my real eureka moment  and a real experience. Can't I have it? Yes, a record cleaning machine was used. The noise is real and relative to CDs distracting. This is a simple reality of the medium relative ... 
Your "eureka" digital moment
I thought I had always been missing something with digital based on everything I read about vinyl. I finally purchased a very nice $6000 analog front end and had my eurika moment. This was about 8 years ago. I realized my digital front end was bet... 
Motorized volumepoti for AR LS 25 MK 2
Don't buy a pot, but instead buy a stepped attenuator for much improved sound. Kosmo makes a great one with remote if you can fit it as well as Goldpoint with a Bent audio motor. They are larger so check for fit. If you must have a pot, then the A... 
New preamp, loss of low freq.?
Please give it 200 hours. Keep it playing and you will be happy. All gear needs to run in. That is the "issue".  
New format, dislike.....
Sorry...you can now see an option for view my activity. You can pick 7,14,30 days just like before! Great job Agon! They listen very well.
