Hey RTI, thanks much for that feedback - seriously..

Yeah, I confess it was only my research based on my budget goals for the deck and the on-paper specs of interest such as: 3 set Preamp outs; 4 volt; RMS Power; FM sensitivity of 9dBf (does this matter?); CD Signal to Noise Ratio of 120 dB (noticeable difference compared to say, 105 dB?) and low Amp THD.

Please give me any specific suggestions if you wish tho, in a sub-$300 target given the specs desired, but I'll say also, I plan to play my XM radio about 80% of use and CD/MP3 20% max.

I did look at Clarion, Pioneer, Kenwood decks in this range, but either the volts or preamp or sensitivity or Signal to noise ratio wasn't looking as good on paper at least. So please correct me on my specs wanted if you have the time! thanks..

And another question off topic: could you give me advice on how I can post here without having to constantly re-log on every 2 minutes or after every page click?? I'm new here but lost my post twice already apparently b/c i had to re-log in after I logged in? sheeesh. Thnks again'
