What head unit would you get for ~$500 and why
I was leaning towards the Eclipse CD8454 but I also like the brand new Alpine CDA-9835. We just got the CDA-9831 in at my circuit city. From the pics, I didnt think the new Alpines would look much different from my CDA-9815 but I dont know what it is about them, it just grabs your eye and looks awesome. Nonetheless, you cant beat Eclipse's 8V preouts. Any other suggestions or opinions?

yeaaaah, see when i just search through all the nakamichi specs, and i see ones like the CD-700II, i dont know what to say.
Preamps:
Frequency Response 15 - 30,000 Hz ±1 dB (AUX to Pre Out)
Total Harmonic Distortion 0.001% (1 kHz)
AUX Input Level/Impedance 1 V/10 kohms
CDC Input Level/Impedance 1 V/10 kohms
Output Level 5 V Tone Controls
Bass 20 Hz ±12 dB
Mid 1 kHz ±9 dB
Treble 20 kHz ±6 dB
CD Player:
D/A Converter Type 24-bit D/A converter with 8-times oversampling digital filter
Frequency Response 20 - 20,000 Hz±1 dB
Signal-to-Noise Ratio Better than 105 dB
Dynamic Range Better than 100 dB
Total Harmonic Distortion 0.003% (1 kHz)
But the cheapest I found the CD-700II for is like $1200 ugh i might as well just save up and get it cuz ill regret if i dont, and it has everything i want including aux input and changer control for whatever i might want in the future (since it doesnt play mp3s i might want to add an iPod or something)
that is all
