Alpine CDM-7835

I bought this CD Player a few years a go to put into my truck. I really do like it. The tuner does a good job at picking up distant stations, even AM. There is also less noise than in even the factory CD player! I listen mainly to AM talk radio and custom mix CD's, so this unit was perfect for me. When the factory CD player started to go up in my wife's van, I searched around for a replacement unit. Ford CD players are EXPENSIVE! Even on e-bay! So I found an Eclipse 5331 (supposedly VERY high end!)and put in her van. She was not impressed, and wanted my Alpine. So I gave it to her and put the Eclipse in my vehicle. Guess what? I am going to sell the Eclipse and find another Alpine!
