BTW , the alpine i mentioned is 3 way active 20-20000hz 6/12/18/24db slopes , and has time alignment and a 7 band parametric EQ or a 6 band graphic EQ.
You sir need to be admitted here for this last statement. Peachford HospitalI have 2 9855's but want a new pioneer really bad!
**** got a pico fuse and a mediocre s/n ratio like all the other pioneersI'm not talking any pioneer man... I mean the P99!
stupid *** idea pioneer came up with. I dont know. And i will believe the above statement when i hear it for myself. I HAVE NEVER HEARD A HIGH END PIONEER THAT SOUNDED BETTER THAN A HIGH END ALPINE!! LOLTrue but I have heard it blows away 9855's and anything else... What's the deal with those fuses anyway?
Just what I have heard... I just want one to run 4 way active!stupid *** idea pioneer came up with. I dont know. And i will believe the above statement when i hear it for myself. I HAVE NEVER HEARD A HIGH END PIONEER THAT SOUNDED BETTER THAN A HIGH END ALPINE!! LOL
Its not a bid deal. As long as you don't ground out your RCAs, short them out, or reverse polarity - you will be fine. From what I can tell, most people that have burned them out were hot-swapping their RCAs or grounded them out to the body. I have a cheap newer Pioneer $80 unit that plays and sounds just as good as some of the more expensive units I've heard.... What's the deal with those fuses anyway?
I would stick with it till it dies , then pay for someone to refurbish it. LOL.9855 has Glide Touch and I hate it. It looks like an Alpine CDA-117 wiht an Audio Control EQX would do what I need it to. Atleast with out breaking the bank. The EQ on the Audio Control isn't parametric but its still pretty good. That will be a last resort. My 9835 works great and the face is 9/10 cosmetic condition... praying it lasts me.
