Made in Canada conundrum
I called the Canada Border Services Agency, and they said that one has to apply for a Temporary Admission Permit (Form E29B). Along with this completed form you have to send a guarantee deposit/bond, which you get back once the item is back on U.S...

Benz Glider High Output good upgrade from Aurum Be
I forgot to mention that my arm and table are a Roksan Artemiz Mk.1 and Ariston Audio RD11 (similar to earlier Linn Sondeks).But Markd51, do you think the newest Benz Glider high output would actually be superior to the Clearaudio Aurum Beta S?
