Panasonic SC-HC55 Compact Stereo System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this, and I think it's a great system. Great sound, and the ability to open the iPod and CD sections with a hand wave is a cool feature. The design is slick, and I like the thin size of it. I've played around with the Internet radio too. Some people will balk at having to buy the vTuner app, but if you're not going to use Internet radio, skip buying it. Of course, if you're not using Internet radio, you may want to look into the SC-HC35, which costs less, and has the same basic function as this unit.
The only real issue I have with this unit is that it seems to be designed for the iPod Touch or the iPhone, as opposed to the iPod Classic. When skipping to the next track, there are times when the system will fast forward about 5 seconds, instead of moving to the next track. This happens about every 5 or 6 tracks.
Aside from that small gripe, this really is a nice system.

Yamaha DRX-730BL Micro Component Receiver CD/DVD Player Unit (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not a musical genius. I do, however, believe that I possess above average auditory taste. I spent the better part of a month researching out the exact system to fit my needs: small room (12 x 14), small shelf area, already-purchased-speakers (that I didn't want to replace), easy to install (I'm kinda old), easy to read instructions, a step up from an archaic 20 year old system that I really liked until it died, some modern technology (that wasn't rocket science -- remember I'm kinda old) like the Ipod dock port feature (for seamless large selection listening), and the HDMI out for the HD tv that I don't own yet.... In short I wanted to step into the 21st century with something that wouldn't be obsolete in 5 years (I'm hoping for another 20). Also, AM/FM radio was important (not internet radio, but plain old antena reception radio). After looking at Tivoli: extremely expensive for a bit of style and technology, I finally found what I'm looking for. The fellow above who simply says, "oh God" to describe the sound quality is not exagerating. The DRX-730 is everthing I dreamed of and more. The remote is simple, and even though I would also prefer buttons for the radio on the unit, the remote makes it very convenient. So if you think you're needs are similar, I can tell you with confidence that you'll enjoy this system. Remember that your speakers must handle minimum 6 ohms. And there were no anoying "whiring" sounds during CD/DVD playback.
