After spending part of the afternoon with my stereo installer, grumbling (justifiably, really..) about how pathetic my (now) expensive system sounded with the MB Quarts, he hooked up a 5 year old Sony cd player in place of the Delta head unit, and wow..what a difference!<p>Granted, this bypassed my whole complicated RF changer mess / line level adapters, etc. and this was surely part of it, but as he promised, using the cleaner signal from the different head unit made a big difference. The Quarts went from sounding completely pathetic to pretty good. (I still think they're overpriced and have an excellent marketing dept.) I already have solid amps and a sub that should sound terrific--they sounded completely different with the aftermarket head unit during the little "test".<p>So...I think the Blaupunkt Sydney cassette unit (with the nice red lights) and Blaupunkt changer it is...away with the Delta unit and RF whiner!<p>Just now, I'm finally getting to my questions:<br> 1--with the delta setup, do I need the antenna adapter (i.e, does the delta have a powered antenna?)<p> 2--Who's finished the Sydney or Toronto installation, and anything I should be careful about when I go to have this installed? (planning on having them wire it up, and use the Scosche adapter thing.) Promise to post pics..<p>Chris C, if you're out there, was wondering about the CD-R problem. The Crutchfield rep thought that you had the older changer and that might be why it wouldn't play the cd-r's (?) I don't want the changer if it can't play cd-r's..<p>Perhaps a way to finally get rid of the (Blaupunkt?) Delta and get some good sound..<p>Rich<br>'98 2.8Q sport<br><ul><li><a href="http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-12sdMK3JY3Y/blockpub.exe?bid=80308&store=7&sid=S-12sdMK3JY3Y">Crutchfield / Blaupunkt Sydney</a></li></ul>

I did not have the Delta radio, but I had the regular concert radio without the Bose. I have not tried to play CD-Rs yet, but I will test it tonight and let you know!<p><br>---Trey<p>silver 98.5 1.8TM (for Sale)<br>Silver 99 1.8TQM (Mintex, R28s, Blaupunkt Sydney, awaiting Garrett!)
