For those who have experience with portable mp3 player, does the sound quality using the tape adapter better than the sound quality of regular FM radio stations.

 

I would say the sound is about the same with the tape adapter and an FM station. Although, with the adapter you are always guaranteed a slight hiss especially at a higher volume. If the sound quality truly matters, as everyone says, look for a direct connection to the HU

 

i have been reading all the threads unless i missed some. there are no direct connection to non bose HU. do you know any?

 

Direct connection would be key.

Crutchfiled did an article on quality and it ranked tape<modulator<direct tune in.

So if that helps ya any.
