P880PRS vs. Nakamichi CD-500

[farshad 10+ year member]

i found this:

p880: signal to noise ratio: 105db dynamic range:95db

cd-500: signal to noise ratio:better than 100 db dynamic range: better than 90db

now please tell me which one has a more natural and cleaner sound? will the nakamichi annoy me because of its too little settings? or i'll enjoy it w/o the functions?

how about 9860 , pxa/h701 versus the tow?

i think the h701 > just about anything.

nak head units are just about the ugliest head units ive ever seen...

Im ooold school, back when there were only tape decks, yes, tape decks!, for sq nakamichi ruled! I havent heard their new cd decks, but they must sound **** good. Ive since used alpine, but my 9856 leaves me wanting processing features. Ill probabily go with pioneer next hu.

I understand that sound is more important than how a h/u looks but i will never put anything in my ride that looks like junk. Head units that look and sound great are all over the place now days. I personally hate the stock look. I think the Nak looks like something you can find in a stock Toyota.

If you are an audiophile, and like to have the ability to change several frequency setting then the 880 prs is a better bet. Unless you plan on buying an external processor,the 880 is capable of better sound imo with its large eq.

Actually Eclipse IS what you would find in a stock Toyota.

^^ In some cars the stock look looks alot better. Just depends on the ride..

does the nak cd-500 have a better sq than the p880 in its best tuning? if yes , how much is the difference?

didn't we already go over this?

also i can't believe people could recommend a headunit not knowing what processing or how he was gonna run his syetm, passive or active

regardless i'd take a rockford 8250 over a nak //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Kind of off topic question. I have a Eclipse 8454 and I want to run a two way active, can this be done w/ this deck or should I buy another? I will be running them off a Sundown 100.4.

Thank you sir, maybe I should have just read the owners manual.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
