Marantz SA8260?

[RVD]

I have recently learned of this player and it seems like an excellent player from what I have read on Audio Asylum. At first I was considering a Sony XA777es, but I would rather save money and build my music collection as I have a rather small collection. The only place I have found it for sale was here:

http://www.pricejapan.com/hot_item.htm

For $851 shipped it seems like a good deal. My only reservation is I do not know how reliable they are and I am worried about custom fees. I have never ordered anything international so I was curious if anybody can tell me how much fees can run. Also if anybody has dealt with pricejapan. Any info is great. Thanks.

I live in Florida, and just ordered one from a firm in California. Cost is $810, including shipping. No need to order it from Japan. Also, unit from Japan may not be set for US current. I assume that you live in the US.

mikeg, yes I do live in the US and the one from Japan does not match the US current. Does this firm have a website or contact info, because I am very interested in ordering from them. Thanks.
