Hi all,

I'm going to buy a new headunit in the next month or so and have narrowed it
down to either the Blaupunkt San Francisco CD72 or the Eclipse CD8053.

I like the Blau for it's included microphone RTA-ish setup option (with 9
band graphic, 4 band parametric), but the Eclipse has time alignment
(millisecond time-delay circuit to provide better imaging I suppose) and a 5
band parametric EQ. Both cost about the same (though I could probably swing
a better deal on the Blau). What do y'all think? Thanks

I would do the Eclipse. If you get everything time aligned properly then
you'll need less eq overall.

Save some cash, get the Eclipse CD8443, and never look back. I was considering
the same 2 decks you are, and ended up with the 8443, it's just a better deal,
and you won't notice a difference in sound quality.

Just curious, what are the differences between the 8053 and the 8443 besides
the balanced outputs and remote control differences (both of which mean not
a great deal to me)?

Also what should I expect to pay for the 8443?

Thanks,
