Apparently if you have easy access to a customs office, it's pretty simple/easy to do the clearance yourself. You just fill out the form, pay your duties/taxes and get them to email the clearance to the carrier. Way cheaper than being gouged brokerage fees. I can't confirm if it is that simple, cause the closest customs office to me is ~500km awayI've heard to the US it's not too bad, but DHL to Canada there are also high brokerage fees (but better than UPS). I try and stick to local carriers as much as possible and co-operative sellers.
500km is like 3 miles, right?Apparently if you have easy access to a customs office, it's pretty simple/easy to do the clearance yourself.

It is going to happen, I'm getting a little itch I have done a lot with single-ended tube circuits and I don't have much interest in push-pull designs. My systems are approaching a steady state I will be happy with for years. Once my new DAC, phono stage, and headamp are done and Aegis is released, I will hit the books again and start working on something different. By comparison, solid state circuits are cheap to make, so that will be a relief!
Matt, you said the same thing years ago when you were on your vintage Sansui kick....You'll return to the dark side soon enough.
What SS amp did you get?
Well, it depends on the temperature and altitude. At least we don't have to factor in lunar phases anymore500km is like 3 miles, right?
I was never good at metric stuff.....

Does the Japanese developer have webpages for the Bughead Emperor and Extreme Stabilizer?Can't stay quiet! I have mentioned the jitter reduction softway I use that is freely supplied by a brilliant Japanese who rights a number of higher level software apps for both linux and windows. He developed Bughead Emperor for Example and still updates it.
But for me it is this stuff. He has come up with a wholly new Variant called Extreme Stabilizer that is making my head explode! I am listening to it's third iteration right now. This all over a week and a half! The first one had problems and I prefered his most recent Excercise Stabilizer, earlier simpler program. The second one started blurring the sound of the system enough that it started reminding me of why I loved my VanDenHul running on a higly modded WTA on Well Tempered table on a Dedicated Turntable stand. Blurred the difference between Analogue and Digital. The latest explodes the dynamics beyond what you might imagine, kills the noise floor and blows up the stage in all directions and significantly improves layering density and weight of images! You thought the VC on an Airmid with National Unions and 5998's was impressive. You have no idea! You think you have heard reality as defined by a very good audio system, this is something else. I have never heard anything I have owned or heard over the last 10 years sound this real. I know there is a lot more that I need to improve in my system. And there is certainly better stuff out there but this transforms what is running behind it! Imagine a brute force amp telling a speaker or headphone, "Oh no you cannot do that, it has to reproduced like this" That is literally what it makes my system do. Like some real time computer level feedback correction loop running real time!
This is a RAM level upgrade, that gets a lot better each time he brings out the latest version. The previous version Excercise Stabilizer improved things incrementally in a number of way with each iteration.
But with this one nothing is incremental. And Extreme Stabilizer 53 does all of what 52 does only better. By the end of next week 54 will be out! The moderators and fanboys are blowing up the page over on the Jplay forum. http://jplay.eu/forum/index.php?/topic/3063-pink-hq-minorityclean/page-217.
It's for intel based streaming and storage at least 4th or 5th generation and most use it with Jplay femto, but it does the same things either way!
You do have to run Process Lasso to properly set CPU priorities with it. It works perfectly with Audiophile Optimizer and Fidelizer, only the latest version, which allows it to run in memory. Old versions will conflict and little kick it out!
I have Jplay but don't like how they implement it with Qobuz. Will be doing HQplayer with Qobuz end of February or March.
Just had to share, happy listening,

Here you go! https://www.mics.ne.jp/~moice-acts/MajiorityClean/ If your interested in Extreme Stabilizer, it is easier to load it with Trusted Installer(oops its actually called Trusted Clean, now 2.0). Availble on the Jplay Forum link I left. Specifically from Hungry Bear who wrote. But Orya also has an app on his page. You will find the latest Bughead Emperor embedded in his zip file when you unzip it!Does the Japanese developer have webpages for the Bughead Emperor and Extreme Stabilizer?
Quick google search did not find it (only various places I can download it from)...
Hey @L0rdGwyn I know you like your curves Plugged the Amplitrex into the laptop today and have been playing around.
