Does Bestbuy sell any good decks?

I have a unit I bought a couple years ago that I'm going to try and do a warranty exchange on. I think I paid a little over $200 for it. I could add another $200 on top of that, so $400 total. What does BB sell that is actually good?

High voltage outputs (at least 4v) and ipod connection are extremely important.

High voltage outputs are overrated.

Since you're concerned about the Ipod connection, I'd buy based on that...how well/easy it is to use, etc.

I think a good question might be why is the high voltage so important for your specific aplication?

I was under the assumption that higher voltage outputs required less gain on my amp for the same level of output. Was I making an ass for myself for thinking that?

[JimJ 11]

Gain position on the amp is irrelevant as long as you're out of the clipping threshold and you don't have inductive noise issues. What higher voltage preouts gets you is a higher noise floor, so it might help if you're getting noise in your interconnects, but if you don't have noise there to begin with it's getting you nothing.

most newer pioneers and alpine radio's are good for ipod.

Wow, thanks. I never knew that about th ground noise. That helps a lot.

I'll check out the Pioneers and Alpines today.
