Orb Audio DF-01iA+

I can order one through a US dealer for $1350USD plus tax, shipping, duty. They can be had for as little as $1200CDN on eBay, but they are the Japanese 100v version, not modified for 120v. They say they use semiconductor films for heating the glass plates, and I don't know if they will cope with 120v or whether they would burn out.

Orb are willing to sell, but the price for a DF-01iA (not 'Plus') is $1665CDN, and then add duty and taxes, which will be 15% more, to a total of $1915CDN. I can't justify that.
