I think there are a few music fans on here so perhaps some would like to venture an opinion.
I'm going to swap out the Porsche CDR220 for a better headunit at the same time as dropping in better speakers. 18watts and the basic speakers sound terrible. This is into a 996 Cab. I'm not going for a satnav, just a good quality headunit with Ipod out, bluetooth and which will be connected to a 6 disc Pioneer changer that I already have. So I'm just looking for good sound quality.
I've always liked the Alpine stuff - some very non-flashy units with good sound quality and clear simple displays. The Pioneer kit tends to be a bit more 'Vauxhall Corsa', showy and a bit plastic but also good quality and should connect straight to the autochanger.
Has anyone had a listen to the sound quality of the Becker units versus either of these and formed any opinions? I know the Becker will look a bit more original, but would be happy with a good Alpine or similar, with toned down looks and colour matched display, if the sound quality if spot on.
Also I do think the Becker stuff seems to look a little fussy - too many buttons on the front on some models.
Also any other simple sound mods anyone might recommend (other than PSE obviously!)
Any suggestions?
