[QUOTE="abbas, post: 28895, member: 542591"] i'm not sure what it is...i think it has to do with listening style. i had a cd changer over a decade ago...but i never know what i feel like listening to until i'm going to listen to it, and i also almost always listen to entire albums at a time (that's why the tapes still linger). but that's not as much a deal as where to mount the changer - if i can't do it in front somewhere, it's useless precisely cause i don't know what i'm going to put in. however...based on this discussion i'll look into a good setup & see if i can get it mounted in front. FYI, my old system was kenwood in dash, kenwood speakers & the alpine 30x4 amp...it kicked *** and i was very happy. i have been an audiophile since the 7th grade, used to collect and test different blank tapes (remember denon DX4, tdk sa-xg & ma-xg, triad, teac..?), sold all my nintendo games to buy an Aiwa ADX-808 deck (but always wanted a nakamichi RX-505)...and miss the days of my Sony D-66 discman + MDR-54 headphones...that was LOUD, like a radio almost. nowadays discmans are pure crap...it was fun being an audio geek, and i've _always_ avoided low end stuff because of it. i stopped paying attention long ago cause i couldn't afford the stuff (and because i moved into musical equipment instead) and it's funny, i'm getting my own advice back from others now to spend the extra & get something i will be happy with later...same advice i employed on this new drum kit i'm paying off. i think what i may do is put the old kenwood back in & see how it goes w/o the tapes again for a while - who knows, you're probably right in that i won't miss them so much anymore. otherwise, i can get a good feel for whether i wanna go for tape + changer setup.
