Hi All
Bit of advice if you would...
Just been told by an Motorsound in Northampton that the Nakamicki car stereo's are about the best around at the moment...
The one I'm looking at is the MB-75, which they have up for £700. Is this price OK? Is the stereo as good as they say? What else is around for that Dosh.
Personally I like the fact that it looks like a cheap crap stereo. That kind of appeals to me.
Cheers
Simon

I paid £700 for mine and I'm very happy with it except for 3 niggles.
1/ No pause button.
2/ 2 not very good manuals, 1 for the unit and 1 for RDS.
3/ When I have Travel Announcements turned on, the unit repeatedly scans all frequencies before returning to what I'm listening to for a few seconds, then starting off again.
However, it does sound good and, having owned autochangers in the past, the convenience is wonderful.

Is it an in dash CD/radio or an old fashioned tape player. I remember the dragon it was impossible to tell the difference between music tape recorded onto it from a CD and the original CD.

The Dragon's awesome.
Especially with a tape like the TDK-MAXG
Record CD onto it and it's smoother, richer, fuller etc than the original. Superb stuff.
Anyone got an old Dragon kicking around they want to get shot of?

Boston Acoustics is the full name of the car range so it is natural to make the assumption that they are the same people (but probably a division of).
Some Car Hi-Fi shops stock them, done on a dealer type basis, just find your local dealer. <I>Saj may know more, i think that (this) is what he does?</I>

Boston Accoustics are wicked, Nackamichi is wicked.....
If you know someone going to the US...you will be able to source the speakers much cheaper....thats what we did when we went last for a friend who wanted some for his Merc.
Either way, its all top notch gear.
I wasnt very impressed with the rip-off price charged by Motorsound decoding an old Pioneer head unit a few years back though.
