i actually compared the alpine 7894 and the pioneer 8400, the higher end one with the dual silver faceplates, at circuit city. the load time between tracks for the alpine was like 3 secs while the pioneer was 5 sec. at first i thought those times were a lot, but its actually not too much. but the pioneer is still noticeably slower tho. my question now is, will the 7400 take as much time as the 8400 or even slower since its cheaper?
