Does anyone know why the 7995 is $100 more than the 7984 when the 7894 has a built in amp and the 7995 doesn't? Is the silver/blue display worth that much?

the dead head that is for sound quality and has the capabilities to make your system sound 10X better is worth the $100.

Dead head?!?

I just bought one, so I'm looking forward to getting it!!

Dead Head - no internal amplifier to power speakers with. You need to buy other amps to make any sound come out. By not having the internal amp, the head unit is more focused on sound quality and ways for you to mess with different settings to make the sound how you want it. Most dead heads are considered competition level head units, so you know that they have got to be good.

Well I got it and mp3 playback is cool, but I can't tell much of a difference soundwise. Maybe when I get some new speakers (Infinity Perfect Components). But I'm thinking about selling my new deck and getting an Alpine 7998.
