Pioneer CDX-P5000
Before MP3 players became popular and before the iPod was invented, I had my eye on the Pioneer CDX-P5000. It was the ultimate CD changer for the car at that time holding 51 CDs. It was huge, unpractical and slow but there was nothing like it when it came to carrying all your music with you in the car. Now when I look at it and compare it to my tiny iPod which holds a lot more then 51 CDs, the Pioneer CDX-P5000 looks ridiculous.

It looks more like a fridge than an MP3 changer :D

For someone looking for 24bit audio CD quality, rather than compressed sound quality of AAC and MP3, this is still the ultimate mashine.
I have Pioneer DSP + component system, and I couldn’t find any more practical solution to carry around and play the elite of my music library in CD audio format, so I just bought one today.
Granted, an Ipod is compact and useful enough for an amateur, but for pro SQ/DSP applications, CD Audio is still the only way to go, and this is as big as car CD audio changers would get.
Some of you probably know, MP3 format (no matter how high you set the sample rate to when you create/rip it) will generate aweful stereo quality and back ground sounds when processed by any type of DSP to generate a field effect.
