Plays great quality with cd

The sound quality is great and meets my expectations

It's just the right size and has a good quality of sound.

The sound quality at any setting is only fair at best.

That leaves the dual cassette players....they make a lot of mechanical noise when playing, and dubbing from deck to deck yields poor quality copies

However, even weak FM stations are pulled in with relatively good quality, so long as the boombox is placed in the right location.

Of course, my wife and I live in the same house, so I couldn't very well serenade her from the street
