Message-ID: <1460@druxu.UUCP> Date: Mon, 15-Apr-85 19:03:39 EST Article-I.D.: druxu.1460 Posted: Mon Apr 15 19:03:39 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 16-Apr-85 01:32:24 EST Lines: 21 I would like some info about the Magnovox 2040 CD player. I'm looking for a relativly inexpensive player but don't want something that will break in 3 months. I've heard good things about the Sony 102/302 players but I don't have $450/550 to spend so I'm interested in the $230 Magnovox 2040. If the extra $200-300 buys significant mechanical reliability, I would like some idea of how much. Note to "golden earred" audiophiles: My ears interpret no difference in sound quality between the Mag. 2040 and anything else I have heard so far so PLEASE, I only want to know about mechanical reliability differences, tracking reliability, etc. Programmability is not an issue, either. druxu!tlz _ Terry L.
