| How Much Are Canadian Customs on US Made Imports For completeness, here is the offcial Canada Post information:Canada Post "Handling fees"Thus $5 for standard and priority parcel, $8 fee for EMS (Express mail) parcels. There is no charge for items, where no duty, PST or GST is payable, i.e. item... | |
| How Much Are Canadian Customs on US Made Imports If you ship via USPS there is no brokerage fee. Not quite right: There is a CDN$5 brokerage charge on any standard mail parcel that is charged with PST/GST, and a $8 charge on EMS parcels.Its just that for UPS and Fedex those charges are higher (s... | |
| DPS/Ayre Turntable does anyone know anything Mike,I guess I really can't tell the difference between the German and English anymore. I can read both fluently ;)Anyway, that is the official website. Soundscape in Singapore has some pretty good info up as well:Soundscape DPS infoUS$9000 is pre... | |
| How Much Are Canadian Customs on US Made Imports No duty, but GST, PST, and brokerage fees. | |
| the best 2a3 suggestion for 2): Super TNT Shuguang 2A3C - detailed, extended, with a good control in the bass. So far I prefer this one to Sovtek and RCA blackplates. | |
| DPS/Ayre Turntable does anyone know anything The website for DPS is here:DPS websiteVery nice table and excellent design. Last time I talked to Willi (the designer of the table) the judgement was still out whether the Ayre's solution is actually better than the current, very excellent (but e... | |
| How critical is the exact placement of the tonearm Thom, I am not sure whether I under stand this correct though:If I read the post on vinylengine it seems that the problem of spindle to pivot distance is only a problem with arc protractors (if the spindle to pivot distance is wrong one gets the w... | |
| How critical is the exact placement of the tonearm Contrast these responses with the instructions for mounting the 47 Labs (or Miyabi?) RS-A1 tonearm, which is merely placed on the armboard so that the stylus is "about" a cm from the spindle!Lewm, the 47 Labs arm is quite different due to the rota... | |
| Who does not like the Lyra Dorian? Only heard one once in a system I'd never heard before but it sounded exactly as you describe and the system owners eventually replaced it with a Denon DL-103(!).I ran the Denon DL103 and the 103R for close to 10 years and it is one of my favorite... | |
| How critical is the exact placement of the tonearm Less than 0.5mm is about right. You have some room to compensate by changing overhang via moving the cartridge back or forth.Good luck!! | |
| Scout vsTechnodec vs Acoustic Solid Classic Wood Jaybo, we talked about the bass performance (or my issues with it) a little before - What cartridge were you using on the Tecno? The Denon DL103R and Kontrapunkt A, I had on the Tecno, are both not known for their lean character. And the 103 had b... | |
| Performance of $1000 DAC's Why would thin sounding be correlated with price? | |
| Scout vsTechnodec vs Acoustic Solid Classic Wood I owned both the Scout and Tecno, each for a year or more. The Scout is fuller, more balanced, while the Tecnodec is quicker with better transients, but less bass extension and leaner sounding. | |
| choice of ref pre amps I would ad the Vacuum State SVP, ARC Ref 3, and the Shindo preamps to the list. | |
| Integrated Amp DAC Naim Supernait? Bryston B100? You could use a Benchmark DAC1 Pre as very compact preamp/DAC run into a fairly compact Class D amp like the Channel Island D100 - you would save space and some money. The Benchmark works on any voltage and most digital amps do as well. And the Be... |
