[QUOTE="headless, post: 1965699, member: 566363"] the hardrive is the least of the expense -- you can put TWO laptop harddrives in one of these...maximum of 200GB [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] I wanted the mpeg far more than the drive; i can buy laptop drives of any size and drop 'em in. I saw an empeg sell on ebay last week for 370$ with a 60GB drive in it too...[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] The PDA interface was referring to the 'keg' that springy101 asked about...see his quote in the last link i posted. He was asking if that would be a good [I]alternative[/I] to the empeg. The empeg mounts in-dash; it's mounted right underneath my head-unit in the first links pictures (blue screen)...the pics of my mids were in the unfixed link, look now and you can see shots of the empeg in the dash (docked) and the undocking mechanism. An mp3 player CAN sound as good as a CD or DVD...and SHOULD sound as good as an MP3 played from an MP3 CD on a CD8445 which has a decent quality aux-input -- unless you've got the 'harmonizer' turned on on the deck, which 'massages' mp3s it reads from cd's and fixes them up some. The empeg has very good quality preouts, which i run to the deck's aux-in. The empeg even supports a [B]20band[/B] FULLY adjustable (Q adjustable AND frequency adjustable in some sick increments like 10hz...) parametric EQ. It's a formidable device. They even make a radio tuner for it...it's got a pair of preouts, front and rear, and an aux input!..it can replace a deck entirely -- i wouldn't even have my CD7000 except for the areashot capabilities, and the crossover abilities and time alignment it offers. The ability to search a 200gb archive, while in your car, and on-the-fly create a playlist with specific tracks or artists while travelling, or just load premade playlists that you can play in sequence or shuffle make the empeg utterly destroy playing mp3s from any mp3 capable deck.
