Summary: A GREAT Stereo System!
Review: Ever since I ditched my barbie dolls for CDs a good 7 or 8 years ago, I've gone through many players and none have lived up to Sony's MHC-BX3 compact stereo system. Most players that have rotating disk changers that can hold more than one album at a time break easily and are less reliable but this system has proven very durable. And because I'm home so much, I tend to use this device for music a lot more than my computer or portable walkman. The eye that reads the content does get dirty rather quickly, causing the songs to skip around, but a cleaner will usually fix that annoying problem (unless it's scratched indefinitely) in about 20 seconds. I'm sure that goes with any stereo system though because it collects dust in unreachable places. As for the sound quality, no matter what genre I'm listening to (classical, rock, techno, new age), I am very impressed with the power it emanates. At only 150 watts (75 in each speaker), the bass sounds like a thunderous roar and the beats are clearly crisp and always of the highest standard. And while you can adjust the menu, I personally feel that everything sounds the best on 'dance'. I also like how you can select a specific number of songs you want the cassette to seek and it will stop right before the track begins so you don't have to keep pressing stop, play, rewind, play, fast forward, ect, until you find the exact spot you're looking for! I do hope to purchase a stereo with even more watts someday but I'll gladly settle with this until it suddenly ceases to work anymore for I'm very happy with this system. I especially love the exterior of it, which happens to look very expensive, and the black and silverish gray coloring compliments most any furniture. Through several past experiences, I can attest to the fact that Sony builds some really great products and I try and make sure all the electronics I buy have that label I trust and depend upon. There are two cassettes here (A & B - one that is able to record) and the CD player can hold up to 3 albums, which you can even change while one is playing. If you can find it, this is HIGHLY recommended!
