Fisher SLIM-1500 Executive Microsystem Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Several people have mentioned that this is a bad stereo, but here are a few details if you're still torn...
Looks:The pictures make this look like a really cool stereo.Out of the box, it looks pretty ugly.Yes, those speakers are indeed bright blue.No, the stereo is not chrome, it's cheap grey plastic.It's amazing how good the pictures make it look compared to the real thing.Also, the white cord that comes with it is difficult to hide in any place I've used it, and sort of looks tacky.You can use batteries, but...
Sound: Ick.This thing manages to make CD's sound like audio tapes.It gets distorted and washed out very quickly.I've spent probably a total of an hour trying to adjust the settings to get better sound out of it, but it just doesn't happen.
I got this unit free in a raffle, but I didn't like it enough to keep it.I took it into work and gave it to our techs to use in the repair room.They didn't even leave it hooked up for a week, the sound is that bad.
Hope this helps.

Panasonic SC-HC40 Compact Stereo System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a CD player with decent sound with an iPod dock for a small to medium sized room, this piece will work. I really like the size of it (very compact, smaller than I thought it would be) and the design of it. It's very sleek and looks great in our living room. The remote control is also better than I would expect for a system of this size. And, considering how strangely difficult it is to find a CD player with an iPod dock at a reasonable price, I'm glad I have this.

I only dock it down a few stars because of the sound. The sound is average. Despite some minimum controls like bass and treble, the unit just doesn't produce a crisp, sharp sound. It can definitely fill a room, which is great, but for true audiophiles and stereo-quality sound, I'd advise to look elsewhere (and probably at a higher priced unit). My wife loves it and thinks it's great. I, however, can tell the sacrifice in sound quality. It's not bad by any means, just a few notches below the best out there.

It's also more difficult than it should be putting in and taking out CDs.

For us, in its particular room, function (size and design) wins out a bit over quality. When I buy a bigger home with multiple rooms, I'll upgrade to a more traditional stereo system.

Supersonic SC-3399M - Micro system - radio / CD / MP3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This system is supposed to play MP3s. It does not! It also will not play "homemade" cds. The main reason I purchased this product was to play MP3s and I am very disappointed.

Coby CXCD400BLK Micro Shelf System (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Coby CXCD400BLK is an inexpensive unit that will play CD, AM/FMradio, and audio cassette tapes. It also will record CD or radio to audio cassette. I bought it for recording CD to audio cassette because my car has a cassette player but not a CD player. Playback sound from CD and radio are good.

Unfortunately, playback from audio cassettes recorded from CD have far too much background noise, making them difficult to listen to. I asked the manufacturer if this was typical, hoping to ask for a replacement, but they have not responded.

Recording a CD to audio cassette is a bit tricky, as the cassette does not auto-reverse in record mode. This means you have to either listen while recording and stop the CD when you get to the end of the tape, or record all the way through, then come back and see where the tape stopped, flip the tape, find the same spot on the CD, and continue recording.

I had hoped it would have high-speed copying, but was not surprised that it doesn't at this price.

Bottom line: If you want an inexpensive boom box to play your old audio cassettes it's not a bad deal, though it is more a bookshelf system than a portable. But if you want to make good quality recordings on audio cassettes, look elsewhere.

Sharp CD-DH790N - Mini system with iPod cradle - radio / CD / MP3 / cassette / USB flash player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit replaced a Coby unit that took a hit during a thunderstorm. I looked at several different units. One of the features I needed was a cassette as I still have many of them and of course a CD player. Based on reviews of the other brands I chose this one even though there were not reviews at the time. The other unit that was considered was the Sony. The reviews said that the power / sound was on the light side so I took a chance on this one and I am very glad I did.I like everything about it. Simple and useful features, great remote, exceptional sound quality and plenty of power. I am an old rock'n roller and am pretty particular when it's comes to my sound quality and "loudness". Everything from Jimi Hendrix, the Jefferson Airplane, the Rolling Stones, the Who to Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Pink Floyd, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pink Floyd, AC/DC and even Hawkwind all sounded good. The bass is particularly good and there is not a hint of that "treblely sound" we have all experienced over the years. In my opinion, in the area that I am using it in, the 300 watt unit might be overkill, but had I to do it over again, for $30 more I may have purchased the 300 watt unit. At the time, I was just looking to replace my Coby which was around $50.00. That just depends on how loud you like and how much "air space" you need to fill. The owner's manual is well organized and written with diagrams and illustrations. One of the neat features is you can use a USB mass storage device. I can copy my entire music library to a 32GB USB memory stick I have and not have to play the CDs. I would purchase this unit again and again...
