Greetings from Amazon.com Delivers Home Audio Editor, Eric Gill FEATURED IN THIS E-MAIL: * Our Favorites: Sony MHC-MC1 home audio system with 50+1 CD changer, KLH PSW8100-8 powered subwoofer, and Philips CD-C735 5-CD changer * Top of the Line: Denon DMD-1000 home-component minidisc player/recorder * Exceptional Value: GPX C3860 portable CD player with bass boost * Innovations: Advent AW870 wireless powered speakers * Bestsellers: Sony ICF-C233 AM/FM Dream Machine clock radio, Pioneer PD-F507 CDFile 25-CD changer with remote, and RCA RP8065 5-CD changer OUR FAVORITES ************* Sony MHC-MC1 home audio system with 50+1 CD changer http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JXUZ/entertainmentsit The package may be small, but the sound is big, especially if you dig rock & roll and dance music. Three-way bass-reflex speakers, combined with 80 watts per channel, deliver wall-banging audio for those who like to shake. With its 51-disc-capacity CD changer and wide array of programming options, you can load the system with your favorite tunes and categorize them for easy access. The AM/FM tuner, dual-well cassette deck with auto reverse, and optical digital-audio output for a music source like minidisc, makes Sony's MHC-MC1 audio system extremely versatile. KLH PSW8100-8 powered subwoofer http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J3Q8/entertainmentsit More often than not, "entry level" is a catch phrase that's overused in home-theater speak, particularly when it comes to subwoofers. That said, this entry-level sub meets our price/performance criteria. Unlike many inexpensive subwoofers that serve up boomy, out-of-control bass, this KLH model stays within its limits. When properly adjusted, the 8-inch driver and 100-watt built-in amplifier add low-frequency realism to the 5.1-channel surround-sound movie experience. Philips CD-C735 5-CD changer http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JFEP/entertainmentsit If you're reluctant to shell out a couple of big bills for a new CD player, we suggest you give this model a whirl. Philips has always kept its eye on budget-minded consumers, and this five-disc carousel changer gives you basic CD capability and decent sound at an affordable price. In addition to random play, you can program up to 32 tracks. You can change up to three CDs without interrupting the music, and the player comes with a remote control that lets you perform basic functions like skip disc and track, stop, and, of course, play. TOP OF THE LINE *************** Denon DMD-1000 home-component minidisc player/recorder http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000K1TN/entertainmentsit If you're looking for a high-quality minidisc recorder with analog and digital inputs and outputs and extensive recording and editing features, look no further--Denon's DMD-1000 packs all this into one elegant deck with all the trimmings. With three digital-audio inputs (one optical and two coaxial) and 20-bit, 8x oversampling analog-to-digital converters, you'll be set to make quality recordings from CD, DAT, DVD, cassette, radio, and even LPs. A jog dial advances you to previous and succeeding tracks as well text characters (for disc and track titling) with ease. The DMD-1000 also comes with an easy-to-read display, dual record modes, and stereo as well as mono audio--convenient for eliminating FM static or surface noise on monaural LPs. EXCEPTIONAL VALUE ***************** GPX C3860 portable CD player with bass boost http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J1SI/entertainmentsit For less than a cheap pair of sneakers, you can have music on the go with this little CD player. In addition to its cool, metallic-looking paint job, it's loaded with options including shuffle, repeat, skip, search, set, stop, pause, and play. You can also program tracks in the order you prefer. We liked the LED display, and the bass-boost option gives an added push to the sound. The portable player comes with an extremely light pair of headphones and volume control, and includes a battery-saving feature that turns the unit off a few seconds after a CD stops playing. INNOVATIONS *********** Advent AW870 wireless powered speakers http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J1QV/entertainmentsit We were pleased with the convenience of Advent's wireless speakers, which are great for tricky-to-wire spots like the rear-mounted surround speakers in a home-theater setup. The sound reproduction is comparable to a good FM radio signal. The system includes two identical speakers with their own power and volume switches. The transmitter, which plugs into a wall outlet, connects to a music source, like a CD player, with standard RCA jacks. Along with built-in 15-watt amplifiers, each speaker has left, right, and mono switches that simplify setup. They can also be battery operated (which does limit the acceptable listening distance). BESTSELLERS *********** Sony ICF-C233 AM/FM Dream Machine clock radio http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000K1QT/entertainmentsit Who wants to hear a buzz when you can listen to music after a healthy night's sleep? This AM/FM clock radio with digital-synthesized tuner has separate dual antennas that provide strong reception. A convenient sleep timer shuts off automatically after a preset length of time, and all the controls are conveniently located and easy to reach from bedside. Pioneer PD-F507 CDFile 25-CD changer http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000JFMH/entertainmentsit Pioneer's 25-disc changer is a perfect solution to organizing CDs without shuffling your budget. The PD-F507 offers single-disc, all-disc, and custom playback modes, plus a host of programming features. You can categorize up to three groups of discs--by music genre, favorite artists, or party tunes, for example. We were particularly impressed with the included optical digital output, which can accommodate an external digital-to-analog converter. RCA RP8065 5-CD changer http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J04T/entertainmentsit So you're looking for an affordable birthday gift? Be careful, you might decide to keep this one for yourself. Though its sound quality is average, this five-disc player has a built-in headphone jack with a separate volume knob that's hard to find in a low-price CD player. It features a remote control and basic functions like skip, repeat, and play all. You can also load four discs while one is playing. ****** Give the Perfect Gift -- Get the Perfect Gift Does Aunt Ida send polka CDs when you'd prefer pop?
