[QUOTE="adam71, post: 2850770, member: 549079"] With some units that are deemed "high end" alot has to do with the name brand mostly. Someone sees the Denon or Nak name and immediately think that those units "just have to be" of better sound quality. Truth is when it comes to these high end units it is BUILD quality that is more noticable than the sound quality. Mainly due to the fact that the SQ is determined by MORE than just the deck. It is the whole system which determines how good it will sound. If your system consists of "mediocre" to "good" components then the difference between a mid level deck to a high end deck will be very small. Now say you have a high quality system with every component in the system is top quality. The difference would be alot more obvious. Remember that the difference between a good cd player and a GREAT one are usually subtle. It is the little nuances and other low level sounds that become more audible than they were with the lower quality player. In short, it is the listener who decides which sounds beter. And it is also the listener that decides whether it is worth spending over a grand on a head unit. I did, (Pioneer P9 combo) and can't wait to have it running in my new car. However, for most people it is like you said. Its more of a mindset that has diminished the TRUE high end car audio that once flourished in this country. [/QUOTE]
