But again as I mentioned IMHO it really depends on the recording. Here's a good example of what I mean. http://tinyurl.com/3jak |
I have both the cd changer(alpine s634 w blitzsafe(?) adapter) and the aux input. When listening to the same mp3s, the music played from the cd changer is so much crisper w/ better bass response than when I have the mp3 player hooked up to the aux input. Maybe it's the mp3 player, but I think that some of the sound quality is lost through the aux input. I'm a basshead, and while the bass is not overwhelming, which is what I like, it's pretty clean and loud enough when I use the changer. It also does depend on the type of music you listen to. Mellower music would probably sound pretty good, although Nelly's "Grillz" actually hits pretty well.
