The next time I step on a cockroach, I'll send it to you. Should be a
worthy substitute.

Ooooh...

Not that I'd try to crank it all that loud all the time, but I can
hear really low levels of clipping and distortion, and listening to an
under-powered system can be torture. Headroom is your friend.

And I like "difficult material" for a car stereo, like Don Dorsey
with the "256-foot ranks" (~4 Hz) in the digital pipe organ, Tower of
Power, large chunks of the Telarc and Sheffield Labs catalogs where
they milk the dynamic range for all it's worth...

well, my wife and her sister both had honda's (i love Japanese model
names- my wife's was a Honda "that's"); they both had issues with their
power windows.
Their brother works for a Toyota subsidiary in Nagoya.
Toyota's have the best reputation within Japan (honda's not so much,
because of minor issues such as windows).
So, better buy a Toyota! (keep my brotherinlaw working).

Ok I remember you dont like CR. But whats wrong with the cars they
picked? Are they bad or you just dislike CR?

EdV

I just noticed he said "CD" in that post - isn't that "Consumer Digest",
which accepts ads? Might have been just a typo.
