I use to own a Denon CD head unit(I cant remember the model #), and I must say it was the best head unit I have ever had.

Does anyone know if Denon still makes head units?

Ya they do and they are pretty damn awsome, but also quite expensive. They have managed to keep a classy look in the world of flashing lights and jumping dolphins.

Denon car audio is not currently sold directly in the US, but they make some of the high-end Rockford branded head units, and the next generation McIntosh heads are being built by Denon.

Yes, Frank did want to go to KFC after getting drunk again for the first time in a few years...

Wait, what was the question??

As for Denon, I think all the do here in the US now under their own name is Home Recievers. But I could be wrong.

SoundDomain.com carries the Denon-made Rockford head unit, just in case you wanted to check it out.

I thought Clarion made McIntosh car products. I remember being told that, but then that was several years ago. I remember they sort of resembled each other.

But then keeping track of who owns who now is tough.

Thanks for the show n tell link on that, Aggie. That is a sweet head unit.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Indeed it is. Clarion owned McIntosh from 1990 until 2003. All the Mc head units so far available were built by Clarion (McIntosh amps were and are made by McIntosh.) DMC (Denon/Marantz) purchased McIntosh in 2003. The new McIntosh head units are due out early next year and are being co-developed with Denon. Should be pretty nice.
