If you think about it, a free trip to the doctor would pay for your Headfive taxes five times over. We have to pick our battles, I guess.

Of course...
It's irritating, though, when the regulations are applied randomly and arbitrarily. So far, I seem to have been the only Canadian charged.
In any case, this subject is getting old fast. Let's drop it, shall we?

Not true. I was charged $18.68. $6.90 for duty, $6.78 for GST and $5.00 handling fee. I didn't mind paying it one bit and I'll repeat that for a $250US amp shipped from Germany that is not bad at all.

Got my #207 here in Sweden on Wednesday. Ordered it on Saturday, paid for it on Sunday. That's speedy!
Now I am enjoying my Sennheiser 580's even more than before. This is my first proper amp, I've used an old Philips DCC 900 as a DAC/headphone amp for a long time. The H5 is of course in a whole different league...
I did an RMAA-test with my Transit soundcard, 24bits 44.1kHz, with and without the H5 inline. I ran each setup 3 times since the test fluctuates somewhat. Guess what? The H5 did not alter the measurements a bit, the Transit's noise level was still 98dB, with no more crosstalk either. I like that!

Just returned to Head-Fi after a two year hiatus. And, as before, I'm sorry for my wallet.....
Saw the HeadFive offer last Friday (7/7).....ordered early that day and paid up with Jan.
Serial #211 received 7/12. 5 total days from order to delivery in DFW, Texas.
Lovin it already.
Thank you Jan for the awesome offer!
