I was doubtful. I called them today (3/8/85) and, what do you know, it's being help up and won't be available till the end of March. (They claim it's JVC's fault.) Their price is/was $390; $402 delivered to MA. I got a letter from a satisfied RX500B owner (Clancy Malloy) who said he'd ordered his from Bryce Audio (1-800-223-1346). I called them up; their price is $430 delivered. $28 more but they have it in stock. I canceled my SCA order (they're left with 2 months interest on $400). I placed an order with Bryce Audio; I should get it UPS in 10 days. My advice concerning SCA: get a firm delivery date. If they don't meet it, dump 'em. Also, it's worth paying an extra 5-10% for someone who has it in stock. Robert DeBenedictis
