To start off with, I am keeping my OEM Type S Bose system, so please don't tell me to replace it.

So wioth that, I have 3 options:

1) FM modulator that broadcasts on a frequency

2) FM antenna interrupt on a specific frequency

3) Cassette adapter

Anyone have any experience with any of the above, positive or negative? I'm thinking that the cassette adapter may be my best choice for quality sound.

And yes, I have seen the link where the dude modified his OEM radio internally. I don't want to do that either.

 

1. they are good but dont get a cheap one cuz they suck!!
2. have never had one
3. cassette adapter is probably about the same as the modulator meaning you will probably end up replacing it after months/yr or so

 

cassette adapter is the best option of the 3. the SQ of radio simply sucks. radio has modified the recording of music, which has made it sound worse through the years because they have to make it sound a certain way to make sure it sounds better when it's played over the radio, but it still sucks compared to cassette, which still sucks as well, but the cassette will sound much better than the radio.

 

I figured that the cassette adapter would be the best option. But, I was curious about the adapter that splices into the FM antenna (#2). Theoretically it should sound as good as the best FM station on the dial, but I guess that is still far down from CD quality.

Anyone found any good cassette adapters? I had a Monster Cable cassette adapter for a mp3 player and you couldn't hear it in the OEM Bose radio.

 

Are you trying to keep the OEM look?

 

pain in the *** to change out if he has the Bose system, if you dont know.

i and many other rsx owners use the cassette adapter to play mp3 players.

the fm modulator? those thing sucks

 

i have the cassette for my ipod and i think it sounds really good

 

Cassette is best. I had one 'till my brother lost it.
