Paying taxes/duty on used goods purchased in Canada

Paying taxes/duty on used goods purchased in Canada
Bill...you will end up paying a brokerage fee if using UPS or FEDEX from Canada to the US.  The only time(s) I wasn't charged was when it was shipped by mail (Canada Post to USPS).Not sure how much, but on a $6000 purchase, I would expect a pretty... 
How much is a Rotel RCD-1072 or RCD-1520 worth?
The Rotel RCD-1072 is running between $300-$350. The RCD-1520 is around $450-$500. IMHO, the RCD-1072 is the better machine. The RCD-1072 is one of my favorite all-time CD players.  An excellent machine.Another one you might consider is the Emotiv...

Rick Duplisea at Audio Alternative in Fort Collins, Colorado is probably the premiere Linn LP12 guy in the country.He has been a Linn Dealer for close to 40 years now.  I'm sure he has the parts you are looking and could offer advice.http://www.au...

Direct Metal Mastering ( DMM ) LPs. What is this?
I have quite a few of the Stockfish LPs and find them fantastic.  I also bought a few of the Rush reissues and there are fine.I know I have several other DMM LPs and can't remember them being anything but good. 
Thanks to all who have helped me in my quest for excellent sound.
So long and thanks for all the fish... 
Deezer Elite Holiday Special (For Sonos Users Only)
" Does Sonos support that?"Yes, as far as I know that's the only way to get Deezer in the USA is through the Sonos Device, (or maybe a similar device), but not as a stand alone service. 
Subwoofer pairing with new Magnepan .7's
Depends on what type of bass you are looking for?  A powered sub will give you that deeper thump.A pair, (or try just one) of the Magnepan woofers will give you a tighter, faster and more filled in bass, but they are NOT SUBwoofers, just extra bas... 
Skewed cantilever - Opinions?
I agree.  With what the ART9 costs, I would send it back. 
wifi streamer
The Auralic Mini comes with a year subscription to Tidal included in the price, thus the increase from $399 to $549.  That's a savings of $90, (if you were going to use Tidal for a year based on the monthly price). 
DAC to preamp technical question
I found this when reading the specs of the M1: Fixed outputs, not controlled by volume at 0dB (same source as main out) Not sure what that means?  Maybe Al, (Almarg) or someone with more tech knowledge than me can interpret this.  But, I would a...
