Cd Players

[1986montecarlols]

I have included 4 possible choices all with pros and cons varying from price, voltage for the preamp outputs etc. If you could please tell me which of the 4 you would choose. I'll include from the least expensive to the most expensive. They are all good by the way. I geuss the real question is how important is the voltage output thing?? and RMS response? All are decent but some of the cheaper ones have better responses then the others.

I am not a fan of Kenwood (or Sony for that matter), but I will say that I would avoid the first and second ones. The first one lacks a separate set of pre amp outputs for the subwoofers, and that is a feature I would not be without. The second does not seem to have a USB port on the face plate, and I would not be without that either. The nice thing about USB is that it lest you interface any MP3 player and charge it simultaneously, unlike a simple 3.5mm headphone input jack with can only play the signal from the headphone jack. USB also would let you use a flash drive to store your music on and forego the MP3 player all together. Basically, those two things give you options to use later if you can't do it now. Other than that, a built in equalizer is a wonderful thing to have as is HD radio and Bluetooth hands free synch capability for your cell phone, or even some MP3 players. So, I guess my favorite would be the third one.

Just remember that expandability is a wonderful thing to have-even if you don't use it right now, it gives you options for the future as you acquire new gadgets. The ability to integrate the things you buy later should not be overlooked.

As for as electronics go you get what you pay for. So go with what you can afford with the options you what. It's Just that simple 😀
