Ok, weve all heard and read about it. This piece is really costly. Way out of the normal league....but then its way out of its league truly.
The black box of sound which wont distort even in extremes!!!! This ones got style.
Supports a single slot loading CD, audio or mp3. Comes along with a credit card size remote, which is the driver. Yes, there are no buttons on the box itself, and every things on the remote. If you manage to lose one, can be bought again for about 1000 bucks.
The display is BIG. Its light sensitive and can get dimmer in low light while glowing up slowly if light is turned on. Can play FM, store 6 stations and has an AUX input.
The alarm function is good, you can wake up to a track on a CD or any FM station. When the box is turned on or alarm begins, the volume increases slowly to the one you set previously. Nice feature. The sound is perfect, although many people disapprove cause the lack of heavy bass you find in cheap stuff like evey thing else!!
Try listening to a string piece or a classical, each and every tone can be easily heard, which you can not even recognize in other systems. E.g, try listening to a track Golden Brown by Stranglers.
AUX output is nice, I listen to internet radio on AUX, and gives a quality output even at 32 kbps bit rate streaming radio.
This ones not for blasting away the neighbors, its for your own listening pleasure. Period.
