yea we have been waiting for naks to come into stock for ages,
it all depends on how far you want to go with your system. im still saving for a cd700 even though i have a 7878 equivalent of a 7998.
Tom
advantages of nak
24 Bit dac,
free floating magnetic cd holder (no swing arm sound intereference)
single use volume knob, (apline has about five uses lol which affects sound quality woiuld u belive it)
plays MP3s
security who needs it i guard mny car with my life
and how many other...
colin
you are certainly right, it is the better unit, do like me save for it, im slowly getting there, or sod it my credit card is looking tempting lol
Tom
steve,
we sell and fit all or any ice installs, authorised dealers for BBG, which includes Phoenix gold, JL audio, BBG new stuff, nakamichi, also pioneer, Alpine, kenwood
pretty much anyone really apart from the orrible stuff ( not mentioning any companies to much greif lol)
were based in...
steve,
no harm or anything intended, when i meant our world it was that me and colin are both in the ICE business and probably see the worst case scenarios alot, i.e the novas with crappy cables, even just upgrading the rcas to cheapy ones £14 pound set, u notice incredible difference...
to some people it may all be just crap on paper, but jump into mine and colins world then "real sound" is what matters and you will only get it if u have the right equipment,
by the by chuck a line driver into the equasion and your talking 8v of quality.
Tom
cabling should take up a large chunk of your ice budget becasue it does make a difference, infact it makes a hell of a difference no point in having a nice H/U like a alpine if your RCAs cant hadle that 4v preout?
Tom
colin
do u mean Mr dutch, not personally met him, deal with everyone, we have a fiat being done as a JL demo, 4 x 15" W3s lol
i will try find out about 7998
Tom
kenwood or sony easy options,
leads typically between £32 an £40, got to be from certain modles upwards, sony (dont quote me on this) CDX-600C and definatley from the Kenwood KDC-6021,
also you will loose your display unless u wish to have your trousers pulled down for another lead.
also...
your headunit needs at least 24 bit DAC, the nakamichi are superb, little things like the volume control purely only for volume as multi function volume knobs interfere with sound quality, also there is no track arm on the cd , a magnet is used to keep the disc in place to reduce interference...
funny you mention dynamatting. they have released dynaplate which is flexible metal based, supposed to be lighter, may try some on my roof lining.
i will probably run 0-G through my car purely becasue my amps need as much power as i can get, other people obviusoly dont thinki it is enough but...
not paid for but u know the deal, cost to staff etc.....
my car is going to be comapny demo obviously but we plan to enter into SQ comps in both 0-600w and 600-whatever,
not decided on whether to change to a optima cell, but a guy near us does custom alternaters, polished and specced to how...
yea having a bit of show is always nice, at the moment we have two project cars on the go,
my cup is having a overhaul asap, i already have a w7 12" and 1000/1 just waiting for my 500/5 and PG comp elites 3 way set up, and my ti deq and then it will be installed , however im contemplating...
colin
its a nice unit the 7998, very nice got lots off toys, it all depends on what you are going to do with it, i am waiting for BBG to start to distribute Naks the n i will change mine. but then again all my sound will be going through a Phoenix gold Ti DEQ. :)
do u work in the trade?
Tom
well u could go for a lower spec NAK like cdc500?
i have a alpine cda 7878 at the moment and i want to get rid off it, bout 10 months old, £800 unit,
DHE, time correction, mp3, csd, everything u wat, 3 x 4v preouts etc.....
Tom
sorry but it would be a nakamichi cd700 retail £1700 but if there are no limits then sony do a purely hand built headunit for £8000,
how far do u want to go?
Tom
Roamer

i spoke to two daelers and reanult h/o. one said not possible, other said £350 for whole top of dash and renault H/O said £133 ???????
