Review 2 of 6 Summary:
An inexpensive way to listen to a large variety of music. However, when it comes time to really listen to your music, put the CD in a better sounding player to really enjoy it.
My current setup is this CD player, a Pioneer laser disc player, Onkyo Integra P-304 preamp, and Onkyo Integra M-504 amp, with Realistic Mach Two speakers.
When shooting pool, or just needing some music in the background, I use the Sony jukebox on random to provide the tunes. It is better than a 5 or 6 disc changer because of the variety of artists you can get from 200 discs. But when it is time to sit down and REALLY listen to the music, I use the Pioneer laser disc player to play a CD. I get a "warmer" sound from the Pioneer, with no background noise and without the harsh vocals. For instance, a female vocalist will sound crisp and clear from the Pioneer, while harsh and stressed from the Sony.
Mechanically, I have had no problems with the Sony.
McCracken Strengths:
Of course, it holds lots of CD's. Inexpensive. Remote has everything you need. Weaknesses:
Sound quality: Lots of "hiss" and the high end is a little harsh. You cannot play CD's from 2-7 blocks. It is one indidual block, or all 8 blocks. Similar Products Used:
Onkyo, Pioneer, JVC
