Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $299.00 from J & R Music

Summary:
This Jukebox is great in that I am able to load approx. 2,000 songs on it, both from downloaded music stored on laptop and by ripping some of my favorite CD's. I connected to my Denon 3803 using digital optical cable and it sounds really great. I have the Def Tech 2006TL's in home theater set up and it sounds real good. I have burned CD's to play in the car and they sound fine, too I think I am picky when it comes to listening and the jukebox gives youthe ability to rip onto hard drive at 3 different speeds... 128/320 and full CD quality... I can hardly notice the difference, so I have most stuff in 128 and some of my more critical listening music in cd or 320.

Strengths:
Soundis awesome +++, Able to create playlists of 250 songs and then hit random to playback different order. You don't have to look for a CD because everthing is on the hard drive. A few cool features like being able to sort by album name or artist name(but see below).

Weaknesses:
2 major drawbacks... You can't hit random/shuffle for the whole hard drive the way I can on my Archos MP3 player... The lcd screen is too tiny, it could use an onscreen menu... I can't see it from my sitting position... half the fun of having all of your favorite songs in one place is to skip ahead if you want or quickly find a song you want ot hear... but I have to get out of my seat to do that....Am I spoiled... The unit can be had now for $199

Similar Products Used:
Archos MMJB20, AV outs from laptop using Musicmatch, which is great software but the TDK Jukebox has bette sound

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

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.
