Review 1 of 4

Price Paid:  $199.00 from Future Shop

Summary:
Probably the worst product I have purchased from Sharp. After I bought the Sharp CD_BA150 system, I noticed that some CD's were not being recognized by the CD player. When I played them on my DVD player they got recognized no problem. After a few months, I returned the unit thinking that it was defective. I picked up a new unit a no sooner was it displaying the same symptoms - can't read CD.

Strengths:
Dual cassette recording but who uses that anymore.

Weaknesses:
CD player - does not recognize a lot of music discs (not sure if it is the rotating wheel or laser that is at fault). In any case, since I have had this system for over two years I won't have it serviced as it will cost more money to get it fixed versus buying another system (different brand of course).

Review 2 of 4

Price Paid:  $100.00 from Sam's Club

Summary:
Sharp CD-BA150 Used it for 6 months and replaced the power transformer twice. Needless to say I paid enough for the transformers to buy another CD-BA150. I will not purchase another Sharp product. This is an excellent product for an electronics student, you'll get plenty of practice fixing it.

Strengths:
Looks excellent on the bookshelf.

Weaknesses:
It seems to be confused as to it's purpose.

Review 4 of 4

Price Paid:  $100.00 from Sams Club

Summary:
I bought, in a sams club, a little develish fiend, whom, from the box destroyed my sanity and confidence of all sharp products and accesories. As it stared at me from the box, I knew I was a dupe, Just another fool played by sharp. I set it up all the while feeling its hate watching me and mocking with its mean HELLO! fluttering across its evil little face. Now, if I were you I would put your money back in your pocket and listen to my words.

Strengths:
This is an oxy-moron.

Weaknesses:
The stupid thing will not read CD's and the left speaker output jack will not work since the day I wasted my money on it. The AM/FM is more fuzzy than velvet. And the Cassette player, Well, lets just say a tribe of pigmy's could play a cassette better using sticks and rocks.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
