"Far better sounding than the compation."
Pros: The grand father of audiophile sound Henry Kloss voiced this radio from the midrange out to the bottom and top. The modle 88CD is tonaly balanced,detailed and involeing.
Cons: The transport could be alot quioter, and because the speaker system is integrated with the CDP it is importaint to decouple the unit from the table or what ever it's sitting on.
Summary: The woofer in the unit is not a true subwoofer but a mid woofer,it rolls off at around 50hz. but will go down to 25hz. with very reduced sound pressure levels.
It is very capeable of makeing lots of bass.So much so that it needs to sit on a solid surface with a thick layer of cork under it to decouple the bass from the transport for less read errors and it tightens bass response as well.
Some units come out of the box with better reception than others but a good tech can realighn the pots in the tunner section.As the fine tuneing in China is less than steller where they are assembled.And even haveing this done it will still be cheaper and much better sounding than it's competitor. The level this player can reach is astounding for it's price.
