[QUOTE="3.5Max6spd, post: 547023, member: 555373"] That didn't make alot of sense..... Although high end stuff can run pricey- i wouldn't make it a rule that it has to be expensive to be considered high end- true audiophiles know where its at and price is not an issue I own a Denon AVR-2805 that ran me a pretty penny and itsthe backbone of my home stereo system, its an astounding receiver and I dont regret ditching my perfectly fine 5+ yr old Yamaha for it- but when it comes to the car decks I know the reason they are so pricey, its not that they are out of this world, its that Denon has a home audio cult following thats willing to shed that kind of $$ - My intrigue in Squeeks adoring of the Z1 is that he mentions the DAc and alpha processing to be something out of this world- like Denon is the only one to offer it in its $2K deck, whereas Eclipses 5v/8v decks that run between $450-600 have all that- and they specialize in car audio I''m not saying the Eclipses are better, but those points are irrelevant in how one is better than the other when they both have these specs- now a $1500 difference in quite a lump of $$, so again what makes the Z1 so special that a $500 unit cannot be regarded in its class? Now the McIntosh in another hand can compensate because its truly unique, designed from scratch, , and hand built by some of the finest technicians in car audio, who arguably hand build the finest amplifiers in the world, both home and car audio And please, when you mention high end, build quality should be a characteristic of such, and we all know Pioneer has the worst build quality of all the decks mentioned in this thread.....my dealers shop is a junk yard for Pioneer decks, and these are decks that come directly from Pioneer themselves- - not trying to hate on Pioneer or anything, just a fact:nerd: [/QUOTE]
