I think the last time I saw that site they were promoting a Champish amp that would accept 6K6's to 6L6's (and possibly a couple KT's). Plug in a different tube fer a dif'rent flavor.

Well, China didn't burn the White House during the 1812 war. OK, technically Canada was still a British colony but they were already evil.

(still just kidding)

Looks like they are based out of Windsor, Ontario. Hmmm, didn't they base the 1812 war from there, is there something new in the works?

Post by: Dynaflow on December 11, 2009, 10:54:21 am: I decided to remove my original post, I was going to ask about Canadian tariffs and such and how they continue to allow it, but on second thought its not the forum for it nor the topic.. Sorry, this is not the post you are looking for....

Post by: Dynaflow on December 11, 2009, 11:16:51 am: Sorry ToN, didn't mean to make you reply to something I removed... I'll buy Canadian, I just wonder how they feel about having to pay Tariffs and exorbitant shipping on things they (Canadians) buy outside of Canada?
