Atomic_Banana 0 Posted March 18, 2004 Can anyone recommend a mp3 headunit? All the ones I have seen so far are pretty colourful and have too many flashing lights and gadgets for my taste... I have a Nakamichi head unit in my golf at the mo - thats what I am after - something with excellent sound quality and not a flashing display with bloody dolphins or something on it. Any ideas?

joebrent 0 Posted March 18, 2004 The alpine headunits are very good mate, and the black ones are quite understated and look nice in a c with a dark interior :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 18, 2004 Have a look at the Clarion range... Very understated and superb sound quality... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very understated and superb sound quality... 8) Can't speak for the MP3 units, but I have Clarion radio/cassete (remember them? :lol:) head unit and changer in the back... very understated fully featured and even the display is the same colour as the other switches when lit 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atomic_Banana 0 Posted March 18, 2004 At the moment I am considering a Apline or Clarion I think. I like Alpine - I used to have one - but I wanna closer look at the Clarion stuff. Oh yeah and buy a car to put them in :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 18, 2004 I've currently got an Alpine (fitted to a friends car on loan at the moment), A Clarion TV system in my 'rado and a Panasonic CDC system in my Golf... I really am impressed with the sound quality of both the Alpine and the Clarion systems over the Panasonic, which I'd always rated highly before I tried these other 2 stereos... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 23, 2004 If you want a no nonsense MP3/WMA head unit, look no further than this:- The Pioneer DEH-P77MP. No disco light shows Burr-brown DACs (top notch) 4 x 50W Mosfet - This HU has got real kick :lol: 3 x 6V Pre-outs Plus all your usual gubbins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kangaroo 0 Posted March 23, 2004 I love the look of that Pioneer! Its got a hifi-vibe to its styling. For me a stereo must have turny-knobs... I can't stand push-button volume control... ~Matt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 23, 2004 Aye and the Pioneer is suitabley endowed with turny knobs..... It sounds Hi-Fi aswell as looking it :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
