Dude, by the time you pay shipping charges and customs brokerage fees on that thing, add a whole pile more $ to the price of it. Coupled with the fact that if you have a warranty claim, you cannot have it warrantied in Canada, thus pay again to ship it back to the US for warranty. Buy in Canada for a authorized dealer. In the price range you want to spend, Eclipse makes 2 cd players that will thoroughly lay the smack down to any of the ones you have listed, not even in the same league dude. And that is priced in Canadian funds. Interested, drop me a PM.
