Alpine Old School CDA-7878 CD Receiver
Item(s) Description/Condition:
If you love older Alpine head units and you want something special you have found something uncommon. What have people said about this unit?
"That is my favorite audiophile true hi-end deck to date. It's replacement is the F#1 Satus @ ~$2500, to give you an idea of where that deck sits on the totem pole. There are a few things that make it particularly special beyond just its incredible DSP, Xover controls, sound quality, etc.: and that's it's single beam high-strength laser pickup and very high-end cd transport. Even skipping mp3's takes no longer than the time it takes to hit the button. Every other mp3 deck I've experienced has way too much delay when jumping tracks.
"For those who are un-familiar, the CDA-7878 was part of the first batch of XM-Ready + MP3 decks from Alpine...(they only made it for about a year - maybe half a year and the market couldn't handle the price tag ((I paid a little over $800)), so they pulled it). It also has built-in DSP and highly-customizable delays/alignments, EQ, X-over times 3, and lot's o' sound goodies for the high-end. But, there are none of the crazy displays and other non-audio stuff you see so much of these days -- it was/is pure SQ."
"fastest loading mp3 player from alpine. Reads mp3's like cds."
