So far, no one has reached out. Come to think of it DHL once upon a time sent me an invoice after the fact. I’ll update if that changes, but not losing sleep over it.

Ha Ha!  Nice Lon.  
Donnie, I have to say I am enjoying your updates on your projects and especially your added touch of humor.  You crack me up with your creative remarks!  Keep ‘em coming!  From a man with too many tubes!

I almost wish I had a need for this (I could probably convince myself if I tried hard enough...) but just wanted to chime in and give a full recommendation for Pine Tree and Jesse. Amazing person and great products. I am sure this is well worth the very modest asking price.

"The Man with too many speakers" will soon also be "The Man with too many amps". . .

Did your tracking ever update to show duties owed after delivery? I've seen a few UPS shipments where customs charges were billed separately a week or two later, so it would be interesting to know if that happens here as well.

Well my chassis for my Amp Camp Amps arrived today from Italy.
They showed up right after I finished cleaning up the mess I made cutting up material for speaker stands.

So hopefully tomorrow I will get going on my amp projects again, or finish up assembling the speakers I'm building, or do more stuff on the speaker stands for the new speakers that are going to be powered by the amplifiers that I need to finish building. Or nap all morning and worry about all of it another day.
Retirement is a wondrous thing.

I did have a bit of trouble today with my fancy pants Bosh plunge router.
You can change it from plunge base to just a normal round base by pulling the spindle/motor out of one base and putting it in the other base. Well my spindle unit is seized inside of the plunging base and no amount of pounding on it with a gigantic brass chunk will free it up, frustrating.
Maybe tomorrow, (if I don't nap the day away) I will be able to extract it. If not maybe a trip to Hobo Freight is in order.

Perfect!  ;)  [smiley=icqlite20.png]

I am still locked into much the same gear I've been listening to since about 2003. Same speakers for 2 channel since 1998.(Zen)and 5.1 Yamaha (2007).  Hsu sub since 2003, 2 Klipsch subs since about 2007 and 2011 (5.3). Oppo Blu ray players since announcement dates. Blu jeans speaker wires/sub cables/and pretty, well made ones too into the Zen.      
The Zen amp is still my last purchase.. Love that thing! A few years in now. Almost nightly. I have great hearing especially for my age. Very lucky. I am not an 'audiophile' as I do not have dog ears apparently. I do hear some differences though just fine. A big time music FAN! So much fun just listening nowadays. All I want music-wise anymore is still, well recorded physical media. Next one will be the Steven Wilson mixed Blu Ray of Phil Collins, Face Value. That man is awesome at what he does....

Anyone in need of a nice volume control for your Decware amp?  Looking for  new home is a Pine Tree Audio Passive Preamp Volume Control.  It is in excellent/like new condition and performed extremely well with my Taboo amp.  It is a high quality build that does not degrade the Sound quality.  I have owned it for a few months and bought it from a fellow Dechead forum member.  The reason I am selling the preamp is that I just upgraded my DAC which has a very good volume control built in. It was custom made by PTA owner Jessie in 2025 for around $450 shipped.  I bought it for $350 and I am offering it for $300 shipped in Conusa.  It includes the preamp, power supply, card stock remote, upgraded remote.
Prefer paypal f&f, Venmo or Zelle.  PM if interested.  Thanks for looking!

The DPU has two different outputs for 120v. 2 of the outlets are passthrough (UPS) meaning that the AC from the wall passes through. If the power goes out in less than 20ms it will switch to inverter. The other 2 are always inverter powered.

It seems the passthrough outlets are filtered.

If I didn't mention it I do have the chassis ground going into the house ground.

I too would recommend the Omegas. I have the JR XRS model for about 3 years and rotate my Heresy’s. Dont know which I prefer, both excellent.

Cheers, Randall
