5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp CD-DH790N Review, August 10, 2010

This unit replaced a Coby unit that took a hit during a thunderstorm. I looked at several different units. One of the features I needed was a cassette as I still have many of them and of course a CD player. Based on reviews of the other brands I chose this one even though there were not reviews at the time. The other unit that was considered was the Sony. The reviews said that the power / sound was on the light side so I took a chance on this one and I am very glad I did. I like everything about it. Simple and useful features, great remote, exceptional sound quality and plenty of power. I am an old rock'n roller and am pretty particular when it's comes to my sound quality and "loudness". Everything from Jimi Hendrix, the Jefferson Airplane, the Rolling Stones, the Who to Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Pink Floyd, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pink Floyd, AC/DC and even Hawkwind all sounded good. The bass is particularly good and there is not a hint of that "treblely sound" we have all experienced over the years. In my opinion, in the area that I am using it in, the 300 watt unit might be overkill, but had I to do it over again, for $30 more I may have purchased the 300 watt unit. At the time, I was just looking to replace my Coby which was around $50.00. That just depends on how loud you like and how much "air space" you need to fill. The owner's manual is well organized and written with diagrams and illustrations. One of the neat features is you can use a USB mass storage device. I can copy my entire music library to a 32GB USB memory stick I have and not have to play the CDs. I would purchase this unit again and again...

5.0 out of 5 stars A complete mini-stereo system, August 20, 2010

Just bought it with half of the money earned from selling my Bose radio/CD. I'm not a big fan of Bose. It sounds muffled and almost a torture when listening to talk radio. This Sharp system sounds more realistic on talk radio and crisp, clear and rich with music - thanks to the 2-way speakers. X-base is good for rock music fans. iPod cradle is state-of-the-art, usb reader is great convenience and cassette player was another factor for my purchase. Power is moderate but hey who listens to music with the volume level up to bothering his apartment neighbors? It has better looking compared with Sharp's similar model 899 with higher power. Only disappointment is that it doesn't display the clock when power is off (it does for 3 second when press the clock key). Who wants to see the stupid flash of its functions for the rest of its machine life?

5.0 out of 5 stars This Radio Is Really Sharp!, August 23, 2010

I am not an expert on audio systems, but I needed a mini stereo that looks good and sounds good. I wanted something loud which had excellent quality sound. I hate nothing more than tinny sounding music coming from cheap stereos.

I saw this one on J&R Music World for($149). It had lots of neat features that other similar priced stereo systems lacked. I was willing to take a chance on this system and was hoping the sound was going to be acceptable. When it came I was pleasantly surprised. It was a really nice looking system. When I set it up it was awesome! I like classic rock and 80's pop and dance music and all I can say is wow!! The xtra bass feature really pumps up the sound too. The preset equalizer makes it so you can make different types of music sound better.

Besides having the tape deck, a cd player, an ipod dock, remote and a usb connector, it also had another wonderful feature for my needs. I purchased a cheap Coby mp3 player and a 6 foot Belkin mini stereo audio cable and was able to connect my mp3 player to the stereo and listen to it. WOW! My mp3 songs sound great on this system. The sounds shake my house with plenty of bass and I am really having fun. It has 200 watts of power and weighs 24 pounds. It is not too big and not too small. It is just right.

The only thing I have to nitpick about is the digital display always stays on even when the system is off (displays it's features over and over), and without the remote you are in trouble. Just don't lose the remote and you will be fine.

I give this item 5 stars.
