Pioneer DEH-P4950MP

Excellent – Although they are out of production now, if you can find a second hand model that works it is one of the best investments I have ever made. I bought mine brand new in 2007 for only $160 after bargaining the guy at JB Hifi. There are not many decks for that price that come with THREE pre-outs, a whole lot of sound tweaking capabilities, and crisp sound quality. They are also one of the only models to have the Auxiliary inputs on the back of the deck, which I liked because I wanted to have a neat and permanent connection for my MP3 player. Most decks today have messy wires coming out of the front if you want to connect your ipod or MP3 player, unless you want to spend over $350.

Three years later it is still pumping out the same quality sound, and it has never had any issues where it has played up or stopped working. The BEST value for money tuner I've ever seen
