u got a pic of the decks???

duderiffic · 01-21-2002, 07:52 PM

Anyways, past the shitty company buyouts (Naka) and hard to use funk (Pioneer)  buy the Alpine 7949.  It has a couple plated chassis and a couple of really high end features.  I do believe it features MDAC,  it also has a fancy display.  It's kinda old school.  It will also Integrate with an Alpine SEA-8081 alarm very nicely.  If the 7949 is only $50 more buy it!  You do know that those are both preamp only decks?  If you have any other question I know quite a bit about /////ALPINE and their lines.  Thanks man!

How come nobody ever mentions eclilpse?

duderiffic · 01-21-2002, 08:31 PM

DSC,
    I don't know.  Eclipse > (Fijitsu Ten) > (Mashusta)  < (Panasonic) = (800 other electronics brands that Mashusta owns)   They make good stuff.  It was very cool 3 years ago until they made their decks look like Clarion, and put in those ////|||||\\\\ angled star wars displays.  But as far as quality they are excellent.  I just hate the look.   I myself am a big Alpine fan.  I want to post the install of my stealth stereo somewhere on this site, but I don't know who to ask... do you?

Is that a joke?  These CD players are like 3 or 4 years old man!  Burners were barely even around.  The 7949 was the shit in like 1998.  I'll sell you my 7969 for $500.  It plays CD-R just fine.  And it isn't so #### old!!  It's also way cooler than both of those decks.

yeah eclipse is good stuff, there is a place i checked out on the weekend that deals in them and i am considering upping my speaks with it, but its in the same price bracket as MB Quart, Boston, JL, i i think i'd trust them a bit more, but i def would not pass up any eclips efer a good deal...

i mgiht have a line on a zapco 100 x 2, last years... going for 599 canadian, might be able to snatch it for a bill or less, we'll see

*Grant* · 01-21-2002, 09:34 PM

i hear the 7949 has a bit of a problem, but the  all i know is the 7941's predecessor, the 7940 couldnt read cd-r's at all, I would definately pick the 7949 over the 7941. the 7949 however only has a regulated 1 bit DAC

duderiffic · 01-21-2002, 09:35 PM

Well if any of you all are looking for car audio stuff like amps or speakers or whatever I work at a store between classes so I can sometimes score an excellent deal on stuff.  Just e-mail me or post & ask.  I'll help anyone out!

Jeff

duderiffic · 01-21-2002, 09:38 PM

Grant,
   Are you sure the 7949 didn't have the M DAC in it?   I can't remember what high end Alpine unit did.  I know mine doesn't have it.   So I thought the 49 did.  The MDAC is still a 1-bit D/A.

I dunno...

Jeff

duderiffic · 01-21-2002, 09:40 PM

I just looked it up... You're right Grant... was it really only the D852 / D855 that ran the MDAC?  I know the S624 has MDAC too....
