Hello Jeff!
Friday May 31 1996, Jeff Jenkins babbled to Greg Cobb:
 GC>> Tell ya what, I'd get a little more training. (no pun intended!)
 -> :)  I'm still new to this stuff so no offense taken....
:)
 GC>> Kenwood and thought it was a nice unit.  It had the midrange
 GC>> adjustment and some nice features with it.  But when I got the 9175
 GC>> Clarion CD Player I thought I was in heaven.  It has 6 RCA outs,
 GC>> ID-Logic, support for multiple changers, a non-glare display, and
 GC>> alot more.
 -> What did that Clarion cost though?
I believe high-retail on it is about $650 or so.
 ->  I read the reviews on their new model
 -> with the EXTREMELY low distortion and noise levels....  sure looks nice
 -> and
 -> the reviewers all praised it, but there's no way I can spend $1200 on a
 -> deck.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't shell out $650 on anything I have!  I'm content 
as you are with some simple things.  I was wanting to get a lower model, but 
after seeing a few prices and being talked into buying the high-end one, 
that's what I wound up with. :)
 ->   Not with my civil service job anyways....  Maybe I should have said
 -> audiophile on a budget in training....  :)
Heh!
 -> My advice was meant for others on a budget of course....  I paid under
 -> $500
 -> for my entire system  new and it sounds great to my ears and everyone 
who's
 -> heard it so far.  I've got a nice ADS amp waiting to be installed and
 -> matched to some decent subs, the pioneers I have bite.
Alot of people can get something to satisfy them with about that much 
cashola. And there are alotta people who come into the store and want a 
system for about that much.  I just can't see it. :)
 -> If you've got the money to spend on pure audiophile equipment then go for
 -> the Clarions and Alpines....  I like mine simple and clean and that's 
hat
 -> I've got (except for the electrical tape.)
Nothing wrong with that!  I've seen some simple systems and wondered how they 
sounded as good as they did!
