I've only had this for a month but so far but I think I found what I was looking for. I was looking for a CD changer that was moderately priced but high quality. I would definitely recommend this product.
The audio is simply excellent. I am hearing all the detail I would expect in a high-end single disc player. I note very little noise from the unit as the discs change, and silence through the speakers as this occurs. Recently bought this unit as an upgrade. I really prefer a multi-disc changer with a random function, versus a single disc player, as a way to mix up some favorite discs. As others have mentioned, check the dimensions on this one relative to your cabinet, because it's a legit 17" x 17".
I have to cut the power to see if im lucky and play a CD when is reconnected. I bought this item 6 months ago and doesn't work now. I dont have a near option for send it for service, so I prefer to buy another CD Changer, but of course another brand.
I even bought a CD-brush cleaner but the problem wasn't as simple as a little dust.Why are stereo components nowadays made so crappy that you have to keep replacing them. Is everything made in China. I bought this [new] from Amazon not quite 1 year ago and now it's dead. Too bad they didn't make CD players back in the 70s when stereo electronics were made in the USA and Japan with QUALITY. I certainly can't recommend something that falls apart in less than a year. The sound quality seemed great (but then again I do have a 70's Marantz receiver and big JBL speakers), but now the on/off gets stuck on standby, then the tray won't open, and when I can finally try to play a CD, it starts skipping then stops playing.
Since I had an Onkyo receiver, I decided to try out this Onkyo turntable CD changer. CD changers are not cutting edge technology anymore. I purchased it back in the early 1990's. Additionally, my old Technics had a unique feature that seems to have disappeared from turntable CD changers. My speakers are very high quality and if it had been better, I would have heard it. In Onkyo's defense, this is a good CD changer but I doubt many, if any CD changers stand out from the crowd these days. I would think in about 15 years they would have been able to make it sound better.
It could play the first track from each CD, then the second track and so on. It sounded the same to me as my old Technics. My wife and I really liked this feature. This is a good CD changer, but it doesn't really stand out from the crowd. While the Onkyo does support 6 CDs, I would have preferred to have had this style of sequential play. No worse. My old Technics turntable CD changer recently died.
No better. While it is a good and reliable product, it didn't really stand out from other CD changers I have seen and heard. Some people have remarked that when they bought this new CD changer that they could hear a real improvement in the sound quality of their music CDs. Most are pretty much the same and no one seems to be doing much to make one better from another.
