I have heard very good things about this unit, I believe it is the sister deck to the Clarion 9255 in some respects, which is a killer SQ deck.

Yea, it's quite easily one of the best decks out there(the 9255)and for 400 you can't go wrong.

Some people would say it's comparable to the MX406....since I haven't heard it, I can't comment but the 9255 is definatly comparable to the Nakamichi CD-700....plus I like the way it looks much better than the Mac or Nak units.

Well theres know problems there,after i figure everything out etc and tune everything,you can listen to it untill your ears pop (LOL).

the thing i like about yours is it has a copper cage [img]smile.gif[/img]

im still in shock that i have a headunit that is $1300us in my room looking at me,that's more then i have in my room put together and my cars.

Hey, I didn't even realize you were selling it.

I thought, and I think Marco did too, that you wanted to buy one. LOL

Ok anyway, why would you want to sell it? Apperently it's a fantastic peice I mean hell, if it costs THAT much it HAS to be good right?

You changed your name too....just realized that as well.

The 9255 doesn't have the copper chassis, my *cough*Denon*cough* piece does. The only Clarion units that had a copper chassis, to my knowledge, are the 9255 EXL and the HXD1*drool).(not HXD10).

(in Homer voice) ahhhghhgh.....HXD1...ahhhghghg.

Oh and BTW if anybody knows any one selling an HXD1, lemme know, I'll trade both my nuts for one, since I don't want them anymore anyway, there only good for making children and children are expensive.
