| Playing Customs Games with Our Northern Neighbors I have the shipment sent to a close to the border Fed Ex station to be held there and pick it up in person. That way I take it across the border myself, declare what I paid for the item (you should see the looks of disbelief on the agents' faces, ... | |
| ARC LS 25 Mk 11 Bypass I have and it does make quite a difference. Another issue to think of though is whether you actually want to mix HT and a music system. I have, and regret it every day. Screws up the imaging to a good extent, but worst it changes the dynamics of t... | |

| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches "I do realize with any high end component, there must be compromise." Shouldn't that be the other way? Why spend so much if you have to compromise? | |
| what does NAIM do to..... Are you from Montreal or have you visited the show? It only became anathema about ten-fifteen years ago to locate speakers along the front wall. I, for one, gave up on a pair of Allison One speakers because I felt that it was cool to have sound ap... |
