That is absolutely spectacular. May I ask if you had any issues with Customs? Did they sting you with GST?

Good work! My R9 GST and customs total could have paid for another amp that I won’t use.

UPS. Fedex is better for higher values. I shoulda just done that. Long story with NZ Customs thinking I’m a commercial operator...means every shipment I have to provide an original invoice. Sigh. Anyway, got it corrected now. After the fact
