To be honest, I would really have preferred to just delete my posts, instead of hearing another pissheaded post from you, but that option wasn't available. I listen to my setup daily, and am a bit of an audiophile, and while sure, I will admit it's not as good a solution sound wise to a direct connection, it absolutely does not 'sound like crap'. So I'm not so much taking it personally, as thinking that if he's going to make an idiotic statement like that, then I really don't care much to help him. As an added bonus, I get yet another post from you. My day is complete. |

Well, it sounds anywhere from pretty good to utter ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- (when the station it's tuned to starts picking up something commercial). But that's neither here nor there. It just ain't worth losing sleep over. By god, it's got you going up and deleting the content from all your posts. Learn to shrug your shoulders. If you want to see the first pissheaded post in the thread look at your first post after I said FM sounded like ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- compared to CD or direct connection. Erm . . . well, that's not exactly possible since you erased it, but I think you've probably got a pretty good idea still what it said. I thought you Cunucks were supposed to be all mellow and laid back and Americans were supposed to be all aggro and fight-happy ;D |

FM modulators depend on how conjested the FM band is where you are, there is a total power across all the stations in an area which will de-sensitize the front end of the tuner to the pathetic weak signals that the modulators put out. I know the only way I could get anything remotly noise free from my one on the CD changer in the car was to disconnect the antenna from its input, thats a luxaury that the actual transmitting ones do not have available. - Same hookup and about an hour out of town where there are several hills between me and the multi megawatt Fm tower, and it worked sweet as with the antenna plugged in. 20+ strong fm stations power combined will trample a flea power modulator even when directly connected. Then there is the haslte of changing channels when you move cities and there are differnt freqs in use. I fail to see the use in having the rear speakers play something different to the front ones, if however there was another rca out for a headphone amp for the kids in the back, then that would be a winner :) |

The aux input idea works perfect. Headphones output from Ipod/MP3 player straight into your amp and you will be air guitaring in no time. I got this sweet set-up in my Kombi. |

Except that the headphone out on most portable players is well below linelevel since they are designed for low impedance headphones, you end up with the headdeck at max volume and its still too quiet, then you accidently bump the thing back to tuner and get blasted by some innane moron talking crap. Even the level from the dock connector on an ipod is still a little on the low side it seems. |
