Hey they have the new Alpine head units on the website.
I think they look pretty good, and got rid of the stupid glidetouch feature.

Oh and the Blackbird looks really cool! Wouldn't mind having one of those to play around with.

The only thing I'm not too crazy about is the dvd-a playback on some of the units are 2ch. mixdown and not multi channel. I don't understand why it's so difficult to get an affordable dvd-a deck to market. Other than that, they look good...nice and clean.

The DVA-9965 still has glidetouch. Actually unlike most people, I love glidetouch.

by DVD-audio on some of the higher end decks.....does that mean a dvd just filled with mp3's will play fine? essentially a data dvd.

Or am i reading things wrong


mmk that was a dumb question now that i look more so into the specs.

I wish there was a side by side of hte 9860 and 9861 - cause i can't completely figure out whats different - least not easily.

DVD-audio is 2 ch. mixdown...so no multi channel! I don't understand why it's so difficult to put multi channel dvd-a compatibility into $1000.00 head units, when you can get the technology in $200.00 home units(Pioneer, Samsung).
