I've had good luck buying from www.spearitsound.com and I'm sure they wouldn't mind shipping to Canada. Dealer demos and trades are sometimes more expensive than straight used market but there is a little more safety in buying from a place of business rather than an individual. Upscaleaudio usually has a big selection of specials as well. Some people like them but the couple times I've contacted them they didn't give me much confidence that they know what they are doing. www.amusicdirect.com and acousticsounds.com both offer 30 day return and both carry now a wide variety of equipment. I haven't checked features but you might take a look at a PS Audio or Arcam pre. They're probably priced more along the lines of the Bel Canto though. You also might take a look at Anthem who in my opinion offers a good bang for the buck product.
