Hey guys...we installed the Sony CDX-MP70 on the
wall display of our high-end room and it's a little more tame looking than the eccentric red-in-your-face explode line.
What's really neat is the loading mechasim which is like cd rom.
A somewhat 2 shaft looking unit.
Even worse is the 95db s/n ratio in which one would think should be higher for a $500 head.
Our Kenwood KDC-MP919 @ $449 measured 105 db.
By no means am I disparaging product.
Style over substance is todays 12v theme.
