Thanks for the input. I'm sold on the RR2150, it's the remainder of the stuff I'm still thinking about. One question for Gonk - is the drop in sound quality from CDs to the iPod accessed through the front panel mini-jack input on the RR2150 similar to the drop in sound quality between CDs and an iPod on a good car audio system? In reality, I headed toward buying the darn thing, plugging it all in and seeing what (if anything) I need to add later. I just like to know what I'm getting into...
