Fantastic work as always. You and Etroze got me into active setups. No going back. Couple questions though... the egg crate foam, is that moisture proof? And that fiio, there really a big difference between that and highest quality mp3? I'm in a vw gti now and swapping the deck isnt really an option. Its got gauges and car info that maestro cant deal with.

Thank you! Yes, the foam is moisture proof... There is a notable difference between the Fiio and an mp3 player, IF you are listening to hi-res files that the player is capable of playing (mp3 vs. 24 bit). It also plays mp3s, but I have been building a FLAC library of albums purchased on HDTracks... Of course the quality of the recording itself, regardless of format, has to do with how good it sounds, too.

Thank you! The vw amazingly accepts wav via usb. I fear I have to re record my vinyl collection as wav as they are all mp3 320k.

One of these days I’m going to teach myself how to use REW. I have everything needed just haven’t been motivated enough.


Yes, I’m TomT over there as well. I’ve bookmarked all the how-to threads but my eyes glaze over after a few paragraphs. LOL

Hey Tom, if you are ever in the South Bay area, I can give you a little crash coarse on REW... At least show you the basics to get you started...

In the beginning, I had a very hard time reading through the REW "how-to" threads and my eyes (and brain) would glaze over, too.

LMK

So this is what I have been up to... Got rid of the Mazda, bought a Jeep GC and got right to work! ;)

It's still a work in progress...
