Pass labs with totems
I'd owned a pair of Arro's for years, powered by several solid state and tube amps.They always sounded great and easily conveyed improvements in amplification quality.By circumstance, I aquired a Pass Labs XA60 the day before I sold my Arro's.I wa...

Used MF Trivista 21 or Benchmark Dac1?

Used MF Trivista 21 or Benchmark Dac1?
There exists an Audiogon review of the Tri Vista, with comparisons to the Benchmark Dac1. Sometimes the A'gon search engine can't find it, so just Google "Tri Vista 21".Incidently, I just purchased a dac21 modded by Parts Connexion in Quebec(Canad...

She couldn't understand my wife and my wife couldn't understand her. So we're not certain about the accuracy of what she told my wife regarding the $675 insurance limit.If the heavy accent was such a problem why are you posting the "info"? -Or wh... 
Selling to Canadians
If the item is mfg'd in North America the buyer won't have to pay duties anyway.Actually, only if it's originaly manufactured in Canada(Bryston, Classe, YBA, etc) would a Canadian buyer not have to pay duty on it. I don't know what the weight rest...
