Message: <blockquote data-quote="c0la" data-source="post: 6526058" data-attributes="member: 555919">I apologize if this is a little long....I have the Eclipse cd5030. I really like the sound quality from this unit. I am running stock speakers without any amplification. It does a fantastic job running the stock speakers. I also like the adjustability of this cd player. I can really fine tune it to get the sound to my liking.  Whether it is the stated 25 wrms or the 14wrms that I have read on other topics about it. This stereo gets pretty loud and stays clean all the way to 80.  It plays a very nice mid bass and highs through my speakers. Depending on the stereo settings the highs can be a bit bright, but with some tweaking the highs sound amazing!!! Again stock speakers on a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD.  The display is just awesome. The text is very smooth looking rather than all pixely. The sun gets pretty bright in my truck at times and the display does not let down. It is still visible with the brightest of reflections/glare.  The remote has a nice layout. The 5030 paired with our new Mac book to have sound while watching a movie on the laptop. Very impressed with that!(On a rode trip. The wife got bored and started watching a movie. Couldn't hear the sound from the movie because of my exhaust system I have. Got the idea of pairing it as a music device via bluetooth and worked great!)The cons:  The usb port is an awesome feature but it does not list them in alphabetical order. Nor does it list them in the order that they are on the flashdrive. I have them in order on the usb drive and for some reason the cd player puts them in whatever order it feels like. Also while scrolling thru the song titles. It displays 3-4 songs at a time and at times it takes a second for it to show up the song title/info.  It does kind of **** though not having a pause button, but in its defense it only takes about 3 seconds to power down the cd player holding the source button. Then literally a second to start backup and start playing music.  The cd player physically doesn't feel as sturdy as my previous Alpines.(9831, 9855)  Kinda wish the remote had a pause button also. Again though not a major down side bc of how quickly this cd player powers down/up. Wish the volume maxed out at 35 instead of 80 like on the Alpines. Takes forever to rotate the volume dial if turned all the way down.  For some reason this cd player will pair with my Palm Pre for a mp3 bluetooth device but yet not for the handsfree calling option. Tried a friends EnV II and it worked very well with cd player.All in all though. I love this cd player and would buy it again.  I got it for $245 shipped on Amazon.com from Pacificstereo.com which is an authorized dealer and carries the 3 year manufacturer warranty.</blockquote>
