41 of my favourite albums copied to the SD card and it seems to play fine in the car, with the album art too.
With the change of format I’ve tweaked the balance between each of the 3 pairs of speakers (dash corner tweeter, door mid-bass, footwell bass) and I'm very happy with the result.
When I first bought the car I was less than impressed with the audio quality, however I don’t think the original owner ever turned the stereo on, as the speakers definitely seem to be responding better now they have a good few hours use on them
I was also non-plussed to find that there were no rear speakers behind the seats on the base audio and the aluminium grilles are just for show - I did wonder why the fader control was greyed out! Further investigation proved that the rear audio wiring harness is also not installed, so if I wanted to upgrade it was going to need some serious investment. Having constant tinnitus and some hearing loss it would be pointless to throw a few thousand pounds at say an active upgrade on a roadster.
Again I’m happy with the front facing sound now, and after all, when do some of the band stand behind you to play?!
As with most things in life it’s a subjective topic, but I’m very pleased to be hearing some good sounds.
Thanks to guru pirateprentice for the invaluable advice - and I’ve replied to your DM re. my bi-amped home set up
The stuff I stream from my iMac to my system via WiiM does not compare in anyway positively to listening to cd's on my system.
