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

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
