The Good & The Bad Eclipse cd5000?

bad: no real time alignment only a few presets. That's all I know after playing with one a while ago. I bought a 7100 instead.

So that immediately makes it a bad deck?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif My 8051 doesn't have time alignment and I love it. Maybe now everyone should buy all the greatest headunits that have time alignment. Your advice on which deck to buy helps so much. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

To OP, my friend is buying a CD5000. So I'll let you know when he gets it.

 
good:

-easy to use, beautiful unit, can quickly skip tracks by just rolling the selection button, time alignment, subwoofer control, ipod ready, hd radio ready (need the actual units, but it is "ready"), on board xovers, 7 band EQ, ESN is always a plus

bad:

-the same selectrion knob that is so quick to change tracks is also quick to skip 3 or 4 at a time when you hit a speed bump while trying to skip ahead 1 track, the xovers are really limited, time alignment is limited (ie, only has presets, no actual adjustments like say my old alpine 9831), need ipod adapter to actually use the ipod feature ($50 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif), face place doesnt automatically close after inserting disc (you have to press the open button to close it), doesnt have a removable face plate

nothing really "bad" about the unit, just a few querks here and there. i would not hesitate to buy one again.

 
ps: forget the cd3000...its gay, and my buddy regreted buying it. stay way from pioneer too...my gf's brand new pioneer is a piece of shit too.

out of those choices...cd5k all ****ing day

its not even the ground issue on hers. luckily i havent dealt with that. but its just the build quality seems so shoddy, and not to mention this thing is mounted just fine, and it skips randomly even at a stand still with the car parked and off...brand new cds....

its a piece.
