| 1110.1 | I bought one. | BPOV09::LORD | | Mon Mar 07 1988 11:12 | 18 |

Thanks for the tip, I bought one last weekend. To say the least, I
am very satisfied. I've been a CD holdout for the last few years,
but this price was to good for me to pass up.
As readers of this and the Audio file know, the Magnavox units are
sonically superior to most other CD players. The 560 is a 16 bit
unit with quadruple oversampling. Signal to noise and frequency
response also surpass most others. Being made of plastic doesn't
bother me at all, as the unit sits in a cabinet with wood doors that
are closed when not listening to it. Don't take this to mean it
looks cheap, because it doesn't. I think it looks much better than
the new 47X players.
I certainly enjoy the conveniece of CD's plus this one has a remote
so I can change tracks from my easy chair. You old time CD'ers
already know this, of course. And sonically, that little $130.00 CD
player outperforms my $500.00 turntable.

Ditto. I just plunked down a little dough (it's nice
to be able to emphasize LITTLE) on the Maggie 560 at SM, too, and
I'm thrilled with it. It's impossible to beat a price like that.
(Now if I could only do so well on a turntable ;^))

Just a clarification... in his reply Mr. Lord says:

I assume he meant superior to other CD players "in it's price class".
I can tell you there are players that will kill Mags from here to
next Tuesday... But most certainly they are a true audio bargin
for the money and are highly recommended if you don't have a lot
of bucks. I may buy one for my backup system in the den which now
doesn't have a CD unit...

sale ends March 13th.

| 1110.5 | consolation prize :-{ | TAMARA::FLEISCHER | Bob, DTN 381-0895, ZKO3-2/T63, BOSE A/D | Tue Apr 05 1988 11:27 | 9 |
| Well, I was late in getting over to Service Merchandise, and so all they could
offer me was a rain-check. Yesterday they called up and said that the
manufacturer was no longer making that model, but that I could have either the
Sharp 750-EFC at $139 or the Teac D400-ETT at $159.
Are either of these worth looking at?
Thanks,
Bob
