Alpine CDA-9815 vs Clarion DXZ835MP
Hi,
I'm getting a new head unit this weak and am trying to decide between the Alpine 9815 and Clarion 835MP. I have experience with Alpine and love their units, so I'm leaning in that direction. However, the Clarion has been recommended to me and has a good rep, so I thought I would try and get some feedback on it, particularly in comparison to the Alpine. My main interest is in the mp3 capabilities of each, and disk reliability. I am wary of non Alpine units in regards to reliability as I've seen several units (mainly Sony and Pioneer) start to skip randomly after a year or so, apparently due to the laser tracking calibration failing (causing skips on clean scratch free disks at generally the same time index). So, any comments about each unit and how they compare would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding mp3 performance/features (latency between tracks, file navigation, etc.) and the reliability of the cd transport/reading mechanism. I'm confident in the Alpine, but if I can save a hundred bucks with the Clarion and there aren't any points against it and it meets my needs, then I would like to know. I could put the hundred bucks towards an amp purchase or speaker upgrade. Choosing something other than Alpine is going to take some convincing for me though...
