Hi all,

I recently went to an electronics and computers expo in Sydney called Cebit (anyone else go?) and I saw a stand for an Aussie company called Voxson (www.voxson.com.au). They had a car MP3 player on show which also played CDs. The killer bit about it was the price - $259 - $299. It's going to be released in the next 2 or 3 weeks apparently.

Now, every other MP3 player I've seen for cars has been well over $500, some even over $1000. So, is this some sort of wonder head unit or am I missing something vital here. I really can't see how these other units can be so much more expensive.

Cheers,

Mic

BTW there's no info on the web page yet, it'll be up soon they said.

if i remember correctly, voxson used to be a shitty b-grade electronics company that made crap stuff that you would buy if you knew no better.

THATS if i remember correctly - which is highly improbable.

that is pretty cheap too, i was looking at a nice kenwood unit for about $900/

I've never even heard of them. I suppose I'll be a guinea pig and try it out. I'll tell everyone here what it's like so they can either get one or be warned about it.

What was the model of the Kenwood you were looking at? I'd like to compare features when this one does come out.

Voxson used to make discmans and stuff like that.

They distributed out of Brisbane.

Cheap no frills stuff. Pretty good quality but I haven't seen anything from them for a year or so.

It could be something to make them a big name, or maybe there just tryin to make money by jumping on the bandwagon. I spose it doesn't matter too much at that price though?

Go the AIWA CDC-MP32!!! Wholesome Sony goodness (one up from shit) for $400 bucks. The Voxson one sounds like the CD-MP3 players you find at Northrocks Markets... ahh back in the day when i used to live in syd (like feb '02)... they do the job but skip like crazy, and they only play selected formats (VBR etc) stored in specific file structures.

Personally I like the highend JVC MP3 unit, the Alpine is quite nice and the sound quality is comparable if not slightly better than the JVC, but it costs a lot more. Well over $1k everywhere I have seen.

I did see a kenwood 9020R MP3 headunit in Brisbane car sound today and it looks really shmick, and I generally don't like kenwood gear so that is high praise. No idea what it sounds like though.

Hmm...

There's also the MP Zoo, don't know how it works exactly but it actually plugs into a Hard disk and plays MP3's straight off it. That means you can fit a couple of hundred CD's worth of music on the HDD...

Don't know much about stereo's but thought you might want to take a look...

If it helps I saw it at Brisbane Car Sound for about $800

    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto

Have called impound yards & tow truck operators, no where to be found while I was away overseas! Plates DXPRS1 custom dark green on yellow back. Has a rear lip boot spoiler on the back as well.
