Moin, the old 96’s 850 came to me with a SC-700. The thing has a certain 80’s radio charm, but overall the sound is something very much on the, hmmm, “smuggling” side. Even though the preset EQ somehow conjures up more bass. I have a test time an old Alpine 7817R (yes, the Goldeneye radio) connected with an adapter and… HOLY SHIT! Radio stations, which come in with a reasonably separated stereo signal, sound better than anything I’ve ever done in the 8 50 heard. Incredible! Unfortunately, the CD part of the thing is now completely overtaken. From the fact that the laser is no longer the best the music sounds actually worse than the radio signals. But since I would like to play MP3 in the car, but find no more Yatour for the old Alpine M bus, I think now which headunit I pack in. Sure, what more modern with Navi and co would be nice, and there are now also very good Android devices with good Au but you have a modern navigation system based on software and at the same time good sound. But: Can it be that simply “old” radios harmonize better with the factory sound system in the 850? I immediately had the impression at Alpine that the sound went strongly towards the 801 radios of the PSS, which were also from Alpine. I also have the feeling that some of the speakers are a bit “tired” about the beadings. But since the LS in the 85 0 yes perfectly matched to the vehicle, I don’t want to replace it with others. Does it help to glue in new beadings?
