Won't you have to pay the duty and tax when you re-enter your country.
You'll have to declare it surely?

Possibly. My comment was off hand, but you raise good points that one should consider if you did decide to buy serious accuphase gear while on a fishing or ski trip ...

Declare you must.
13% GST and PST added also.

Will the Canadian distributor honour warranty claims from a non-Canadian address?

I presume you use the same mains voltages as do the Canadians?

But most likely refunded after crossing the border. Looks like duty is about 3%.

It's a shame that most of the time discussions concerning Accuphase gear degenerates in to a group gripe session concerning pricing instead of focusing on what really matters.. the beautiful musical reproduction that can be enjoyed from some of the finest gear on the planet. If you have problem with the price of admission you need to look elsewhere,imo.

Warranty would be a concern unless it was registered to a Canadian address I would assume. Would the savings outweigh the risks is something only the buyer could determine. The price differential borders on the obscene for me. Fortunately I live in Canada and can take no risk and get a better price as the US price is beyond my means at present.

Nope; Canadian Sales of Accuphase is heavily policed/enforced.

Anybody who thinks that the Canadian distributor would honour any warranty of this equipment without hassle, is delusional. Just google numerous complaints of customers online in that regard related to many (rad all) brick and mortar stores in Canada
