Relatively clear and detailed for the price. I have had many components come through my system and this is not bad sounding at all.
My point is any problem with this changer doesn't seem to be inherent in all of them because mine has played cds and cdrs that I have burned myself for many years. The changer doesn't like to play some cdrs in obviously bad shape so I have had to re-record some that I loaded when I first got this unit.
I've had this player for over five years without a problem but looking at the reviews it appears to be hit or miss although people tend to more outgoing when they have a complaint. I see some people complaining about the sound of this thing but I think it sounds very good , especially for the price.
My only real gripe is the memory can't hold all the cd's text that have text encoded on them so when scanning through you may find some rotating blank cd's and if you try to name the cd yourself and the changer reads that it's a text cd it won't let you name it using the changers own text memory. But the changer has plenty of memory to name your own discs using the changer just not to remember a lot of cd encoded text for some reason, but I use a lot of cd encoded text, more than three quarters loaded in the changer are cd encoded text so you may not have a problem with that at all.
I currently use a bel canto dac2 in the basement and a benchmark dac1 in the living room, both hooked up to very good clear transparent systems and I switch the living room dac from the rega planet cd player to the optical coming from the changer when I just want background rotating music but I have listened to the audio outs of the changer and they don't sound bad at all. If the changer ever died I would definitely get another one at least until I can find a good music server for a decent price that's not my fan noisy computer.
I am very pleased with the CD Changer I bought for my husband. I had looked for years in the stores and could never find one. It shipped quickly and was delivered in plenty time for Christmas. I will definitely order thru Amazon again and would encourage others to do the same.
This 300 disc CD changer works great. Easy to use and sounds great. And the price is right.
Loading CD is cumbersome into the correct slot Possible answer is to create a thin 'slide' like extension that can be anchored to the opening and provides a ramp into the slot. It won't play some personal burnt CD with my play-lists. I've owned this machine for 3 years and it has now sat in the box for the last two. Labeling is a pain Not sure how to improve this. My final solution was to create a Jukebox of my own with desktop computer and ripping music directly to it. I should swing away into discrete depressions in the top. 3.
4. I have only three complaints: 1. I've tried different type of Cd's and it's hit or miss. 2. But there must be a more automated way like using wireless access to identify songs like on my media center server. It scratches the CD it plays Intolerable. This solves all four of my issues so I will not be looking for another hardware solution again.
I bought this to replace a single disc unit that had died. The only issue I have with labeling is that there is a lack of sufficient space to add some complete titles but with clever abbreviations, it works. Also not sure that I can label each song playing but may not want to do that anyway. Since there are not any on the market, I decided to go with the Sony 300 disk player, giving me the capacity to add to my collection.set up was clear, simple and easy. Sound is excellent and searching is fairly fast. Instructions, while poorly written, were easy to follow and I was up and running in no time. Frankly, I was looking for a player with about 100 disk capacity as I do not have many CDs. Do not like fact that once playing the disk title is not displayed but maybe I've missed something I need to do to make that happen.
Loading was relatively easy as was naming the disks-no real need for a keyboard-spinning the dial to enter letters,etc. was quite fast. Searching is fairly fast and easy too.I have not tried all features as yet but really like this machine and recommend it to anyone who wants to store their music, create play-groups, etc. Good buy for the money.
