I agree.  But, like you say, it should be of some use for CD players
which, I think, cross the Atlantic a little better.

Tell me about it!  It's very frustrating where I live; there are no hi-fi
dealers (or none I've found).  They're all big "consumer electronics"
outlets that sell the popular-name japanese brands.  Nobody even stocks
the yank hi-fi stuff.  Pshaw!
