I have a Soney CD stereo that is close to 20.years old. It is a duplicate of the Magavox
3 piece shelf CD system. In size and, speaker specifications . The only difference is the blue tooth feature, which I didn't need. Also it has the slide out CD drawer instead of the Manuel load. I hate the slide out drawers. They usually end up malfunctioning or jammed with the CDor Dvd so tight that you can' t release them without damaging the whole unit. My main issue though is the sound. After all that is what we really buy these things for.
The sound was ok but not great when I played the first track. By the time I got to the 5th selection the audio quality got worse and worse. The orchestration was wobbly. The voices and bottom base were muffled to the point where you could hardly hear the artist singing.The Amazon associate told me that this was factory new. It sounds more like an old item that was refurbished.Before I made this purchase, I think I counted about 5 negetive reviews of this CD player that complained about the poor sound quality. That should have been a red flag. I don't know, I just thought it can't be true. Not Amazon. I thought technology must have advanced since I purchased my sony player 20 yrs ago. Btw the Soney player had an excellent sound. Gave me many years of joy but the speakers are starting to falter. That's why I purchased the Magavox thing. I can't ever recall being this disappointed over the purchase a record player, CD player, TV. Set or any type of electronic entertainment system in my life, and iv been around way before Amazon was even conceived. Yes Im returning this piece of junk.Next time I'll research and scrutinize any CD player before I make another purchase.
