This is the one i'm after now seeing as though my Pioneer DEH-P8450MP deal fell through.

how much does it cost to ship over here??

Yeah just went to JB they had the JVC-S985 for $489. I asked can you do it cheaper. He said $450. I said well you had it for $400 before Xmas (Had no idea if this was true, heh).... then he goes alright $430. And I took it! $60 off and $110 of RRP aint bad for this unit.

Also I was also looking at the next model up the one with the flashy screen and all that bs and he said it wont be as good cause it only outputs 2V preamp whereas the 985 does 4V. Can someone tell me what the difference would be?

Does it mean the amp doesn't have to amplify as much sound?

4v is louder and apparently clearer.

it means that the RCA level out is carried to the amplifier at 4Volts rather than 2V. Alot of people purchase an Eq (usually about 7Volts) or a Line Driver which does the same thing. The better you get your sound to the amp the better sound you are going to get out... less signal loss=better quality sound.

by the way the salesman failed to mention that the KD-LH2000 (cool graphics) has a 24bit DAC (Digital Audio Converter) this is the highest quality audio converter on the market!!! i notice the difference, some ppls don't.

If you go direct to Hagemeyer (the Aust Agent for JVC) you can buy what they call "repacks". My bud has bought a few JVC decks and his current one is an mp3 deck. He paid about $200, in the box, unmarked with all docs & full factory warranty. Hagemeyer are in Alexandria (Sydney) I think.

ACtually the 985 has 24bit DAC as well. Well thats what the box says anyways

The Pioneer MP-8400 is available in Aus and is kick ass. You can get it from JB Hifi And Garys. Retail is around $1200

Yeah but my car is a constant battle between JVC/Alpine and the Kakimoto. I doubt spending $1,200 on a deck is that wise an investment on a loud 33...
