    Hi folks,

    Up for sale now are .. many. I want to bridge the financial gap caused by my recent two big audio purchases. Should have posted this earlier but I wanted to make sure how these compete against or pair with the new amp.;)

    Buyers pay paypal fees or gift-pay will be also accepted.

    Currency unit is USD.

    Shipping via Fedex
    Shipped prices assume CONUS
    Shipping to Canada is possible at a buyer's cost: any duties or taxes (as defined "Clearance Entry Fee" by Fedex)
    Otherwise let’s talk via pm.

    No such a comment as "pm'ed" or "ygpm" please. Private messaging system is already fairly decent!

    As near as I can tell, Eddie Current really does not do spec pages on their site so I was wondering what the OI was, or a likely range perhaps...I used advanced search but did not find a dedicated BW v2 review page. These were made with Bal input option (transformer), is this unit SE or does it have this option?

    It only takes se input. But I can throw an external Radial (jensen) 1:1 transformer in at +$200 if wanted -- description updated in the first post.

    Regarding OI, I am betting around a few ohms (perceptibly behaved so to my ears). Hope someone who knows actual values chime in!

    I had zero problems in OI-related issues with from very low Z planar (ether 2 = 16-7 ohm) to high Z senns and zmfs. But anybody who is obsessive about near-zero Zout should go elsewhere. BW is not a product for such people. THX 789 would better suit them imo.

    Just a question to those who have experience.

    What should I consider in particular when shipping (from US) to Canada?

    Looking at this page: https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/international-ground-canada.html
    Primary difference sounds like clearance entry fees -- and it seems fedex does all the custom works.

    Any other things to know? I had zero experience. But want to know if I can expand my deal to Canadian friends.

    I shipped there twice using FedEx. Nothing much to know, from my experience. I just picked the recipient pays any duties or taxes, and shipped it.

    (Click FedEx Ground tab on that page for details.)

    HS customs code for headphones is 85183000.

    Good to know. Now I changed shipping description. Open to Canada at a buyer's cost (shipping + tax + duties + others).
