Bruno Putzeys Balanced Preamp - Group Buy Part 2

Sorry to hear that Clive.
On the CN22 customs declaration, I just put "printed circuit board" which has been fine...

Thanks Xavier, but your side was absolutely fine. It is just that Canada Customs seems to takes great pride in its inefficiency.

The parcel arrived at Canada Customs less than 24 hours after you posted it. Although many in the UK don't appreciate it, but Royal Mail provides a better postal service than almost any other country I have dealt with. From the US, it would have taken a ten days to two weeks to even get to Canada .
 
That's interesting Clive.
For all the packages, I asked explicitly for a signed for / tracked service so I have the tracking numbers for every package.
Canada is the only country where tracking is not available and I'm not even sure I'll get confirmatio of delivery. It's like as soon as it hits customs, it creates a barrier and everything post-customs is not followed: International Tracked and Signed delivery partners | Royal Mail Group Ltd
 
Regarding cap's "C4, ..., C25",10u 50V Non-Polar,ELNA - RBD-50V101M,No,Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors - Leaded 50V 100uF 20% Bipolar

If I order (and solder) alternative:
Panasonic AEC-Q200 SU(Bi-polar) Series, 10 µF, ± 20%, 50 V, 6.3 mm
I'am allright?

Thanks Xavier, board and regulators arrived two days ago. Time to order parts. From my reading a 12vac transformer is the recommended one. 15vac transformer operates the the regulators too close to the maximum.

Thanks for comments.
