i dont think you understand alpine.its not just a hunk of lil parts put
together.
when you buy alpine you buying the idea.you understand the upper class n
you know n respect classy stuff.its like fine art. youll be a member of
a limited group.
now i think about it.why am i trying to explain it to you.you cant
understand.
all of you are worried about how cheap you bought your stuff.assuming
its not stolen.
This is strange - for someone that spends so much time trashing the
traditional "high-end" gear, you seem to have bought into the Alpine
"mystique" lock, stock and barrel.
Alpine makes good gear, but it's hardly exclusive or "limited" (unless
you figure that they're "limited" by the number of pieces they can
crank off of the assembly line each year).
And let's face it, even their top-of-the-line CD head unit, the
CDA-9855, can be bought all day for less than $350, so it's not like
you have to mortgage your house to buy one. You can spend more than
that if you get one of the in-dash LCD screen units that plays DVD's,
but the same is true of Clarion, Pioneer, or any of the other
companies. Alpine prices are really much more in-line with the rest
of the industry than they were fifteen or twenty years ago.
Alpine has tried for a long time to emphazise the "European" look and
feel of their units, but they're just another Japanese electronics
company - as good as most and better than some.
