Thread: Add Stacker or Replace Stereo???????

if you hate changing cd's then a stacker is the only
way to go.
i say rip out the oem unit and install a pioneer set up!
ive used pioneer for years and have never had any problems
or skipping incidents!!!! i lie i had one in my EH wagon, but hitting a
train crossing at 80mph and bottoming out the suspension
will do it to any unit i spose?

Hi seqfisho, just a suggestion, you obviously have a computer so you can get a number of free programs that will allow you to convert your favourite music to MP3 and if you replace the tape with and MP3 player, it should not only be cheaper than putting in a stacker but it should be quicker to change over.
Add to that the fact that MP3 cd's will store and play about 6 or 7 times as much music as a standard cd.
Cheers.

I agree with Drivesafe. Mp3 is the way to go. Ok it will take awhile to convert all your music, but one cd will last for hours and hours and the good ones dont skip.
Another option in a Mini Disc player. I have a walkman varity and love it. The new ones hold 1GB on a disc.
Welcome to the 21st century!

I have a mini disc player in my landy and its yet to skip. Even over some really shocking roads.

I picked up a second hand 10 CD stacker of Ebay and it works perfectly, load it with CDs at the start of the day and your away.

The mp3 player is the way to go now that they are cheap. Quite often you can pick an mp3/cd player head unit for the same price as a cd only. The new stackers are now also mp3 so you can drive around Oz without changing a disc. I got my Pioneer from Audicom and have not looked back. Why not go the whole hog and look at the VDO Dayton CD/MP3/DVD/Navigation system head unit. Bloody marvellous piece of gear, now only if I could afford one I could do away with my head unit, stacker, kids dvd player and the gps and have all in one unit.

you guys with the mp3 units!
how is the sound quality??? on the ones ive listened to
they dont sound right, to much trebbel or high pitch noises?
i use the latest version of nero to convert to my mp3 and
it dosent sound as clear as a cd? :?

It depends on the quality of the conversion, ie: what bitrate you use. Most give you the option of the quality you want, from below radio quality right up to above cd quality. But it also has an effect on how many thacks you can get on a cd.
