When I started out to find a realtively inexpensive stereo system that played CDs, tapes, and radio, I was hoping to quickly zero in on a particular ite. But I was unprepared for the plethora of chocies facing me when I began to actually try various items out at the local electronics superstore. Suffice it to say that there was an avalanche of different possibilities, each meeting my minimal needs, and yet, having too many other competing models with similar quality but different features. I started out looking at items under $100 and ended up considering items costing nearly $500.

Needless to say, I beat a hasty tactical withdrawal from the store and the salesman to reconsider my options. A day or two later I came back, and after listening to a couple of lower range models decided to order this Sony unit from Amazon as it was even cheaper than buying it at the store. So far we have been well pleased with the unit, with its versatility, its user friendliness (read simple to operate), and it high quality sound.It even has a graphic equalizer to customize the various ranges for a better mix. It also seems quite durable, having endured the relatively primitive setting at the cabin, and works all day without complaint or overheating. I am very satisfied with it, and would consider buying another Sony model after this positive experience. Enjoy!

I keep this in my bedroom, on a shelf behind my bed. The audio isn't very powerful, but the bass stays low, which is good. Why I keep this in my bedroom and not in my sound room is because it is not powerful at all, and better for drum n' bass, emocore, and jazz music. I really don't like the volume buttons, because they're buttons, not a dial, for easy adjustment. It's more of an intimate player, for lack of a better word. If I make mix tapes, I make them here, because they are very good for dubbing and recording. It's an overall good CD player, but it could be better. I like listening to Juxtapose by Tricky with DJ Muggs and Grease on this.
