Review 4 of 7 Summary: Boought one of these units at electronicsoutlet.com recently for $119.95 on closeout! (They might still have a couple left!) What a steal! Works and looks are flawless (even though "factory reconditioned"). I was up to 1AM listening to some of my favorite CDs like I was hearing them for the first time. I'm not sure if my Phillips was so bad or if this one is just so much better. Consumer reports always said all cd players were basically the same, you're only paying for the frills. Wow, were they ever wrong. Not only did I get the frills, (110+1 cd's, quick access, 5 groupings, text readout, nice remote, disk organizing while playing, etc, etc..) but I also got a much improved sound. Always had luck with technics equipment (turntable, cassette deck), so I should have gotten this unit to start with. Maybe it's not for total high end audioheads (no direct digital out), but for us mere mortals with older analog equipment, who want convenience AND good sound, this should be a contender. I think the new SLMC 7 is the same unit with digital out and a few extra features. Am listening over a Marantz 250 amp, and preamp, and Ohm F's, Bose 901's, and/or sennheiser cans. If you're looking for a deal, here's one! Strengths: Cost, fast quiet cd changes, and nice sound! Weaknesses: no phono plug, difficult text entry Similar Products Used: Philips/magnavox
