Default Best MP3/CD player

I sold my Pioneer to a friend who needed a deck "RIGHT NOW!!!" and now I have no deck! Any suggestions?

ummm so now your friend has a deck and you don't?

and if he needed one right away, why didnt he go to bestbuy or an audio shop? why should you have to pay for a brand new one when yours worked fine?

It doesnt matter, none of that matters, he paid full pop for my deck, I am wondering what you guys think is the best deck out right now, not what I should have done.

I've had good luck with Clarion. I'm not too savvy on what the best/newest deck is, but generally you can't go wrong with any of the better brands like Pioneer, Clarion, Alpine, etc.

alpine cda-9887 is clearly the best cd/mp3 player on the market
Only the pioneer DEH-P800PRS competes with it, but the newest Eclipse, CD5030, and alpine cda-9886 look to be other good options

watch out for the multi directional volume *****,
they are impossible to use while driving

I use to have the lower line of this cd player DEH-P980BT, the non premier DEH-7800mp, and the multi directional **** with few buttons was horrible. And the screen was terrible during the day.

+1 for Alpine. I have an Alpine IDA-X100 which doesn't have a CD player, but the sound quality is excellent, even without the IMPRINT module. For the record, I am driving the stock monsoon system with the X100.

If I need to play a CD for whatever reason, I can just get a Walkman or something like that and plug it into my aux. in.

Alpine also makes a 6-disk changer for the X100 and others.

Hope that helps!

Alpine gets my vote as well.

My whole audio system is Alpine besides the sony HU but that will be changing soon.

Afro you are tough on OP lol.

I 'd guess he sold his HU to fund his next HU.

^ he left out a lot of details, i wanted to know why lol. plus, i have rarely heard someone talk of a friend on these forums where the guy truly is a good friend. usually its someone trying to sell something for double the worth or buying something for waaaay too cheap etc.

I have an Alpine CDA-9857 and the only complaint is the blue buttons are WAY to bright for night driving. I tape a piece of paper over them on long drives.
