This boombox is great! The CD sound quality is wonderfull, Same goes with the tape player. The radio reception isn't quite the best though. You can get great reception within 20 miles of the city it's being broadcast from, but if you live way out in the country and are buying this for it's radio, get something else. Another plus is the ability to record onto tape from either CD or radio. The radio's presets are excellent, although a little difficult to search through. The CD shuffle feature is cool. Yet another plus is the bass boost. It boosts the bass so much it's surprising! I think everyone should have one of these!
