Very old Alpine tda 7588rb HU

[nicdav 0]

Hi guys,

Hope this is in the right section??

Brand new to the forum, just trying to find out if this HU is any good??

Can't find any reviews online?

Made a MASSIVE school boy error today and bought one of these along with an alpine 12 disc changer.....

I didn't realise this was a cassette receiver as the model number wasn't in the Ad, all the info I had was it was 4x60 watts and I stupidly assumed it was one of the higher end alpines even if it was old!! I got a friend to collect it, I would have checked if I'd have gone, but it was actually advertised as cd player & cd changer!!

It's only cost me £50 for the 2 units, I'm just wondering how good the sound quality is of this unit, as if it's pretty good I don't mind installing it as I will have the changer anyways!

I'm assuming SQ will be pretty good as this HU retailed at around 400 quid.... I know tech has moved on massively since, but I was under the impression that some of the older alpines had better sq than some of the more modern ones?? No stranger to sq as I owned a nakamichi cd 400 many moons ago.... It blew me away!!

Be interested to find our a little more about this alpine???

Don't know anything about your particular unit but if it's on it's way to you anyways...might as well hook it up and see if it leaves you satisfied.
