I just gave the Dreamcicle pressing a spin. It sounded phenomenal on my system, right up there with the OG pressing, if not a little more dynamic in spots.

Did anyone in Canada purchase the black vinyl from 10club & get hit with customs? $27 CDN in custom fees?
WTF? I ordered the colored version and have yet to receive it
but I have never had to pay customs for anything from ten club. The only time I’ve ever been hit with surprise customs for records is with FedEx
Ordered the colored version too. That hasn't moved yet but the black vinyl .. Canada Post wants 28 bucks. I need to see what the value was marked down on the outside of that vinyl box. I might have to refuse the item and request a reassessment from CBSA. I would normally pay 28 bucks if an item coming from the USA is over 100 bucks if I get hit with customs. But an item that is 43 dollars US?
yah that seems expensive, because usually the fee the CBSA charges to assess taxes is something like $10 or $15. The record is about $60cdn. 15% tax would be $9, so if they decided to ding you I'd expect the fee to be $19 or $24. Maybe the assessed it on the shipping cost by accident which would of pushed it north of 24 dollars. It's in the ballpark. I'd be curious to read the assessment.
On the flip side I ordered a pair of records from Portland, OR which arrived earlier this week. Worth $40 USD combined and no charges.
I do loathe it when CBSA goes through periods of time where they crackdown on assessing packages. I also envy our southern neighbors, if it's the other way around they can bring something like $800 of stuff over by mail. Makes the rules feel a bit unilateral. Our limit would still be $20cdn if Trump didn't get it doubled.. lol.
Post Exprés, a division of USPS, screwed up! 10club's original sticker said 1 vinyl value $42.98. Post Exprés added this new sticker on top and mistakenly put down 2 for a total of $85.96. Canada Post customs caught this. $115 CDN value so a charge of $27.71 CDN. Because of this I have to complete the B2G form, send all info via mail to the local CBSA Casual Refund Centre & wait till I receive the refund. Who knows when I will receive a refund & IF all works out as this was Post Exprés fault.

Nice. Before I got married and moved I had B&W 803 Nautilus, Mcintosh mc 202 Amp & C15 Preamp, entech dac, Monster cables...I forget the model but they were as thick as a hose....Project turntable...forget the exact model and sony 400 disc changer.....
The mac with the b&w was the greatest. I sold it all to put some cash in the bank when I moved and was going to go to grad school.
Today I have an Emotiva XPA 200 & USP 1, Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2, Emotiva ERC 3 CD Player, VPI Traveler with Ortofon Blue Cartridge, a marantz tuner and a yamaha kx 300U tape deck. I really miss the mcintosh meters but the emotiva amp and preamp has been fine to drive small bookshelves that I have.
I am planning a move back home to NY in two years and I am hoping to buy a bigger house where I can go back to a full size speaker...most likely the 803 Nautilus again..they were amazing.
I loved seeing Eddie with all the Mcintosh stuff when he was on howard stern.
