That's kinda slick.. but not phatnoise slick. And it looks like they're still including their copyright protection BS with it, which is kind of lame..

Oh yeah, and this is half the price, and will plug right into most recent CD heads.

Phatnoise is great, buy only if you own a recent KENWOOD deck, all others are left out.

And the $1500 for the Sony is on par with what the Empeg was when it was sold, but with more features.

Actually, last time I checked their actual store (not the stupid music keg), they were offering it with connections to most major CD brands, as well as factory CD-changer controls for Audis, VWs, Fords, and I think a few others...

I might be wrong, but then again, I'm sitting on a KDC-V6017.. so.....
