Re: S350DL sales and price in Canada

Does the Canadian version include an AC adapter and the headphones as
advertised with the US version? I looked at www.thesourcecc.com catalog
number 2019501 and it only shows the radio in the product description with
no other items listed.

Does the S350DL sound a lot better than the original S350 with the smaller
speaker? I would like to get the Tecsun BCL 3000 version that still has the
smaller 4" speaker.
