[QUOTE="maylar, post: 8883409, member: 541144"] The thread about new vs old school head units has me daydreaming. My first job in high school was with the local Radio Shack. Back then (umm.. 1968 :P) the Shack had car audio under their Realistic brand. They also sold Jensen speakers, and the 6X9's were the hot item. 8 Track, cassettes, FM radio. Anyone here remember reverb units? Allied Radio, Lafayette? My senior project in Engineering school was a 6 watt amp with 2N155 transistors. Germanium, not even silicon. Yep, I'm old.. First major "modern" install was my 85 Oldsmobile. Pioneer DEH-P6800. Outstanding FM reception. Picked up WOR FM in NYC from New Haven. When I did a full install in my 99 Buick, the state of the art had grown. Pioneer had the DEH-80PRS with 16 band EQ and time alignment. And that copper chassis P99RS. Eclipse offered a true balanced line by repurposing the rear channels to be the negative line. Now here we are in the digital age where streaming has replaced CD's. Are we better off? Just reminiscing. Think I'll have another dram of Glenlivet now. Rock on. [/QUOTE]
