Hi Brian,
   Beautiful set up.  Was their any procedures for getting those tube amps into Canada(customs)? I was thinking of getting a set maybe later this year or early next. Mind you I am not sure how many more sets Bob will make.  I would love to hear your system sometime.  Colin

Very very nice.... it's a good thing "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors stereo" isn't one of the 10 commandments!!!

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Colin,

With the correct paperwork, a bill of sale and a NFTA Cert there is no problems, you end up paying 13% duty and Taxes (on the Canadian value) plus the cost for you customs broker there charges can vary a lot. I am lucky as my wife is a customs broker, so I had no brokerage fee.
