^I'd agree, especially since it's less than the last time I checked. Without calculating shipping charges, if you buy that Denonford deck and do customs yourself, it would run you $460 CDN.

Kool and MB currently have Denon pieces up for sale. Kool has an 8250Ti up for grabs, and MB has an A1N...very interesting piece really. Check it out. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I would also consider Eclipse as a superb option. I just keep forgetting about them for some reason. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

I would definitely rave for Alpine's yesteryear product, as I do own, have owned and enjoy having used their product...but something's missing in the later model decks... maybe it's just me.

Any specific features you are looking for?

I've always had great luck with Alpine, and Nakamichi.

I've been very happy with my Nak CD-400.. Good no-nonsense deck.

I like Alpine HUs as well, but the new ones sound lifeless to me. I dont know what it is.
