So its 2016 now, wondering what peoples all time favorite SQ single decks are.

For me it would have to be the Pioneer DEH-P880PRS.. I'm looking for something similar maybe a little easier to pick up new/used locally. Preferably 5v preout but 4v minimum, 5 band EQ minimum. And iPod control.

Any suggestions are welcome!

 

I just picked up a Pioneer DEX P99RS.....
EATS and ***** out any deck I have ever owned

 

Great deck for sure not sure if I want to spend that much on a HU as of now, though. Still need to plan out the front stage, etc.

 

The DEH-P880PRS is great looking unit a lot better looking than most of what's out there today. I have the 80PRS and I love it! I also have an alpine CDA-7998 phantom face unit. the only thing its missing is a usb input.

 

Here's the latest and greatest from Sony..

2000$ and no cd transport?

 

nothing more than an over priced IPhone dock.....
Sony can keep it....... I'll stick with my Pioneer

 

I own an Eclipse Cd8051 and an Eclipse CD8053. The 8053 is supposed to be the better of the decks, but I like the 8051. Both dead head, 8 volt head units. For straight out SQ (and just SQ), you can't beat these decks.

 

I use to be an eclipse dealer and I ran Eclipse for a short time
the Eclipse decks were famous for having a horrible noise floor

we call it the Eclipse Buzz.............................................. ....................................

 

That's the first I've ever heard of any noise problems with Eclipse head units. My 55040, CD8053, and CD8051 were all absolutely noise free. I've been on other forums and cannot recall anyone else complaining of noise problems with their Eclipse decks. Maybe lack of features, but never any SQ problems.
