Sony - sony CFD G505 Review

My Sony CFD G505 boom box is the greatest.  I bought it mainly because it had a cassette player.  I have a lot of cassettes, but the only place I could play them was in my car because it has a cassette player. (I have an old car!!) Well, I was very surprised and pleased with the sound that came out of this boom box!!  The sound quality is nothing short of superb. It tunes in radio stations easily and gets just about all the popular stations locally.  the cd player is a top loading and very easy to use.  The cassette player is a regular player, like most others. you push a button to open the front, pop in the cassette and play.  You can record on the cassette player, but it is not a twin player, recorder.  I don't record onto cassettes, so I don't really use that feature. The cd player has all the usual cd features, back, forward, random play.  you can pre program radio stations, too. You can play the boom box with batteries or you can plug it in.  I have it plugged in here in my bedroom, and I really love it.  It sounds better than the regular compact component system I have in my living room. Now, this boom box is larger than most and a little heavier, but not too bad.  It's not a problem, and again, the sound and features make this a great system.
