Good Design, Short Life

 

Good Design, Short Life

Like many other reviews here... the unit itself was fine (excepting the annoying time for CDs to change) and, I thought, a good value. Unfortunately, after 2 years of very light use (maybe a couple hours a month CDs/radio), ran into the same CD...

Pleasantly surprised

For the price, this little guy puts out decent sound. Rich bass without distortion and loud enough to wake up my teaching neighbors. BONUS: I can hook up my iPod with Monster RCA cable which sounds way better than any docking system at half the price.
