The Good & The Bad Eclipse cd5000?

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.

lol, someone got butthurt on a simple comment. He just said it's bad that it doesn't have time alignment, no need to throw a fit about it.

Used to have it.. loved it. I have a 9887 now.. 9887 obviously has more features but overall I liked the 5000 better.

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.

Yeah you seem to hit both pros and cons right on point, same experiences i had when i had my cd5000...well plus eclipse retarded remotes but that just eclipse.

Edit: Plus you can't beat that 8 volt signal clean and strong

nismos14 why the 880prs over the 5000?

 

[nismos14 5,000+ posts]

Lets see, TA, 16 band EQ, 24 bit dacs, active capable.

Now i heard much bad to bout the 880. Heard bad ground issues , cd's skip easy.

I've owned 4 pioneers, and installed about 20, and NEVER had any skipping issues.

i used an 8445 which is about the same unit but the model series prior to the cd5000's. i've also owned a cd3000

all in all, great decks, reliable, powerful, clean, sexy........im sure youll be happy with a cd5000. the cd3000 was nice, but for the money a 5000 is worth it

I'm fine. I just thought it was stupid to say that a deck isn't good because of lack of time alignment.

I think there are other threads about woofersetc.com if u do a search. Like most online companies, most of the time people are happy with their customer service, shipping speed, etc. There are always people from time to time angry about something that went wrong. Nobody's customer service is perfect.
