Strength:

Good sound output, video game like display, removeable faceplate. The looks you get from passengers when they ask what the **** is that?

Weakness:

Occasionally have to eject an MD when player has difficulty reading (usually happens after 4 hours of playback)

uHad been debating between CD PLayrt that plays MP3's and an MP3 player. Then along came the SOny Net MD player recorder. I was sold. Temporarily used it through my cassette deck until I found a store in the city that had MD Decks (only one in Winipeg) Totally satisfied. Love the unit. MD is the way to go for portable and car audio, no skips and media is cheap and small enough to carry

Model Reviewed: 2001 mda-7755

Strength:

looks,sound,build quality display,sound, sound, sound! So far on my nasty new england roads no SKIPS on potholes or train tracks.

Weakness:

rarity in the usa,no md changer like sony. It is a special order product not in stock.

I just love alpine car audio. My mda 7755 is awesome! The sound is great and the display is very colorful and easy to read. I love the eq displays and basic tweaking you can do to enhance the sound. If you love mini disc buy this head unit! I paid $450 for my mda 7755 and the harness and remote were missing which tweeter paid for and sent them to me fresh from the alpine parts dealer.

Strength:

Adequate Power
Huge range of adjustments(equalization, Image localization,
Sound Effects, and Surround Sound)
Remote Control for back-seat use.
Tilt-face for sun interference elimination.
Wide number of display modes.
Easy installation in Double-DIN space.
24 station presets.
Plays MD's or CD's.

Weakness:

No face-plate dimmer(looks like video game at night)
Picket-fencing on local stations among buildings, despite sensitivity excellence.
High cost.
Occasional skip on MD playback(error correction circuitry not the equal of home decks).
Runs so hot could be problem for CD's after a few hours of use.

Only a few MD/CD heads out there. This is best one of the bunch(though Alpine does make MD/CD head with 3-CD cartridge capability for $500 more.
Only problem I think is mandatory for them to fix ASAP is lack of face-plate dimmer.
Recommended.

Strength:

Colorful, don't have to keep changing discs.

Weakness:

Scratchy sound, and very limited EQ.

The 7755 is great if you don't like to bring a big book of c.d.'s along with you every where you go, but the sound on the 7755 was scratchy and the equalizer was VERY limited on sound adjustments.

Strength:

Clean sound and greatly improved graphics. You can read this unit in direct sunlight. Skip protection is great. Every Alpine unit I've used provides excellent skip protection. AI feature is great if you have an Alpine changer.

Weakness:

It's rare, but I do drive with my radio turned off. This unit doesn't display the time when turned off. (Minor inconvenience) This is my second Alpine unit with the same remote. The remote could have more features, e.g. tone and fade controls.

I bought this unit at e-bay. Paid about $495 with shipping. I've owned 5 Alpine products, ranging from the bargain head unit to the high end, and been satisfied with every one. I compared this with a Sony unit, can't remember the model number, and I believe the Alpine is a superior product. Much cleaner sound and a better display.

There are several DSP modes and display variations, but I haven't used them. Gimmicks. I bought this unit for the sound and reliability I've come to expect from Alpine. If you are looking for a MD or CD player that won't skip, I suggest you look at the 7755. If I didn't find the unit on-line, I would have spent the $650+ retail, without hesitation.

Upgraded from Alpine in-dash CD player. (Lower end unit) The power rating on the 7755 seems more accurate.

Model Reviewed: 1999 Subaru Forester

Strength:

Superb sound and precise dynamic accuracy comapred with other competitive models (Blau, Sony) I used before. Rotating dashboard, wide range of sound picture adjustements.

Weakness:

No separate MD-changers available in the market.

$650 in Moscow, Russia. Good choice for those who got used to MDs and prefer digital sound to classics.

Similar Products Used:

Sony's much worse than Blau. Blau is good, but I prefer digitized sound. All units were used with the same speakers.

Model Reviewed: MDA-7755

Strength:

This is by far the best car minidisc player on the market. I have not had any problems mentioned in the other reviews about the internal amp not working. The sound quality of this unit is superb, far better than the Kenwood KMD-X92 which I had installed in my car before the Alpine.

Weakness:

This price is a little high, but when you consider what you are getting, it more than justifies the price. Also, I would have liked to see 3 preouts with one having a sub level control. However, this can easily be overcome.

I paid about $500 at www.bargain-expo.com. Fully recommed this web site to anyone. They have everything that you want at the lowest prices around.

Model Reviewed: Alpline MDA-7755

Strength:

Superb sound especially for a 4x40W. Good range of functionality easily accessable. Internal amp works with MD and 12 disc changer

Weakness:

Only one model in range thus far.
Complex screen seems daunting at first, however easily workable after practice

Paid equivalent of £370 in Andorra (UK Retail price £500). Definite buy for those who wish to jump to MD.
