I bought this CD Player to replace a JVC Player that had become temperamental after over twenty years faithful daily use. I got it in February and after three months it has been great so far.
I use it every day for a number of hours so it does go through a lot of work. I couldn't afford to spend much money but this model proves that you don't need to spend a lot to get a quality product.
It matches up very well with my old Denon Amplifier too and looks really good in its design. It is a substantial and solid piece of equipment.
It has performed incredibly well so far. It has coped with every CD that I have tried to load. There were some CDs that my old CD Player just would not play. Its not a problem here. The 24bit sampling seems to be doing a great job. And the sound is just right for me, with clear and wide dynamics. Tones are not to high or too bass. The sound is excellent.
There is a good visual display of the track and time information and the remote control is easy to use with all the functions you might need including programming and skipping tracks, fast forward and rewind etc.
The Player can also read MP3 files on discs. It also will play CDR/CDRW discs. So it is a good all round Player.
In a world where all the high street shops and big online stores sell only MP3 players or small ipod sound systems it is a relief to know that even though its rare, there is still good quality superior hi fi sound equipment available.
These updated but traditional styled CD players still outstrip the likes of MP3 in terms of sound and quality.
If you are looking for a reliable CD Player that does not cost too much then I would recommend this product very much.
