McIntosh car audio

Typical of the world today. When Alpine is selling $200 head units nobody is paying $400 for a Blau.

 

Binghamton, NY since the beginning.

To reply to the original question, the issue with the crap trucks I've driven so far is noise floor. Maybe the newer ones are better.

 

I use my older Mac laptop to make high-def FLAC files from LP's. Almost 10 years old and it has 128/32 built-in.

 

Those were in the 50s. I remember 4 tracks and 8 tracks. FM was getting going in the late 60s.

 

What is a four track?

 

Clarion sold McIntosh Lab about 10 plus years ago, they stopped produce in car system under McIntosh name.
May be this in car system brand is gone too.

 

I just picked up this Blaupunkt head unit for 10 bucks. No moving parts to go bad on this one. You can load up a 64 gig sd card full of 26,100 songs and plug it right into the head unit.

Here's a review.

 

Too expensive. Had to go mainstream to give ma and pay stores something competitive to sell. Most head units are all the same. When the look identical but are priced $100 higher it's the components. Better tuner, more features, etc. Very little difference in any of them.
