Anyone know where I can buy an Avia (or similar) disc in Ontario/Canada?

HMV used to carry it. There's a place in Mississauga which carried both Avia & Sound & Vision, DVD warehouse I think.

Sometimes local Hi-Fi shops have one you can borrow/rent.

I have the sound & vision one and you're welcome to borrow it.

I got mine from amazon.ca :

Avia : http://www.amazon.ca/Avia-Guide-Home-The...=UTF8&s=dvd

DVE : http://www.amazon.ca/Digital-Video-Essen...=UTF8&s=dvd

The Avia is 63.99, DVE is 31.99. Lots of people seem to buy both; I have no idea why.

I just ordered AVIA from www.dvdplanet.com and used google checkout to save $10 off of $30. I got it for $23.95 free shipping & I'm in the US. They ship to Canada pretty cheap it looks like.

If you can get someone in the US to mail you DVE, www.familyvideo.com has it for $16.68 and you can use coupon NEWMEM96 to knock $5 off.

Thanks for the replies guys. My wife went Christmas shopping in Michigan, and picked up an SPL meter for me. It was hillarious. I got a call from her that basically went like this:

Her: Yeah, I'm standing here in Radio Shack, eh.

Me: Oh, good! Do they have any in stock?

Her: Yep, both. You didn't tell me they were 50 bucks. And you need this, why?

Me: To dial-in the stereo.

Her: You're kidding me, right? You've got the best sounding system of anyone we know, and you're still not happy?!?!

Me: [silence]

Her: You REALLY need it?

Me: Yep.

Her: Fine.

My wife and I cracked up at this one. She said her question would be, "Do you really want it, 'cause I know you don't need it?"

Tell her it's the only way to make sure the second 600 you're planning on buying next month will be calibrated properly.

I told my wife I wanted to go to Radiosh..."I don't think so!" She didn't even let me finish my sentence! Oh well maybe later. At least I was able to get DVE and it definitely helped for the colors.
