Do you guys know about the U.S. customs policy for the cans, cables, amps shipped from Canada? Does it make difference if the item was produced in the US? I started similar thread on cables forum, but there is not much activity down there.

Hey, does anybody from south of the border know your country duty policy? Here in Canada we can be hit for goods with quoted value over $60 I guess. I will claim that cable I am about to send to buyer is made in U.S. Does it make any difference? Basically the issue is - what item price to claim

There were multiple posts on opamps - which one sounds better and how the sound is different and more and more. But what about low power transistors for output stages? Kevin Gilmore used 2sc1815 and 2sa1015 in his (see headwize) design. Do they give the best sound? Are there any good...

Does someone know if 2-3m power cable sounds: a) better b) worse c) the same d) cable dependent e) setup dependent than 0.5-1m otherwise identical cable???

I bought HR-2 used (thanks, borat) few weeks ago and 3 days ago traded it for GS-1 with fellow member doogie. You will judge who was the winner in this deal. There are lots of posts on those two amps, but here are my impressions. Build: Let's say we normally have the idea to which...

Which one would you choose for 59-avi ->???-> ms-pro or w5k: tubes: 1) SP PPX3 2) Raptor ss: 3) Emmeline HR-2 4) Headroom GS1 get more money and go for: 5) MPX3 6) MPX3 SE or Supra?

A) If I have 3-wires cable and I use non-balanced RCA setup, what should I do? 1) parallel 2 wires for the ground line; 2) parallel 2 wires for the signal line; 3) connect 3-d line to ground on source side only; 4) leave 3-d line free (remove if possible). B) If I have interconnects...

mdr-7509: What's wrong with me? Why did I buy them? Didn't I read the multiple threads dismissing them as the overpriced poorly sounded bad alternative to 7506? Don't they have overpowered bass and non-existent treble? Can they handle complex passages when bass fills up the air? (No, they fail)...

Anyone knows where to buy descreet dual opamps???

I am currently very happy with SA5k on my setup. dt880, sr325 or hd600 (broken now) all seem to be from the different league. The only canes with similar signature I like are mdr-7509, but they are no match to sa5k either. I am thinking of rs-1, ps-1 or ath-w5000. What about akg-240df? L3k...

Well, I had hdr65 wireless and hd570 wired. Both were worthless. I reasoned that if I switch their drivers, the 65 sound won't be much worse , but 570 could gain something. I hoped to have something to complement/compete with sr125 and even replace px-100 as portable (well, office-portable)...

I created wav file at 44100 sampling rate. When I tried to play this file using any media player and record it at the same time at another rate (96000 for example), I am getting the message: "MMSYSTEM032 The specified format cannot be translated or supported. Use the Capabilities function to...
