Alpine advice please

[lofty]

im considering the following alpine CD players

- CD-E 7860r £138 inc VAT + P&P
- CD-M 7871r £148 inc VAT + P&P
- CD-M 7872rb £160 inc VAT & P&P

will they all play CD-rs? is one miles better then the others? bearing in mind i will be using it with front compontnts only as i can have rear speakers of any description, so basicaly unless someone say oter wise i was going to go for the cheapest one, i dont want a multi-changer.

any advice or alternatives considered, as well as better prices, most of these are from MCS-Direct

main differences are the CD compatibility,

the 7860 is the base model , the 7871 is the next one up has changer control and option of remote,

if u could stretch to the 7874 you get lots more features and benefits, things klike the bass engine upgrade and sound quality features, pre outs etc

cheers cuptastic,

does anyone know about the CD Changer CHM-5630 and weather it will play CD-Rs?

 

[Tom]

they all play cdrs but not cd-rw

alpine have one of the best lasers on the market, they will virtually play any disc, (obviously not mp3 if its not mp3 compatible) i have even seen them play cd-rw, but they are picky on the discs lol,

the thing with alpines is they are reliable i have had four so far and not one has broken, they either break when u first install them or they will be fine,

ive had an alpine in the past and liked it, other than that i have always had and loved pioneers, partly becasue i was young and they looked good, but now i will stick with quality, proably a TDM-7582 and CHM-5630 changer for £185ish, cant go worng at that price

 

[cuptastic]

good price,

personally the pioneer sound is a bit synthetic. the alpine is a very real sound even on crap speakers,
