Marantz CC-38 CD-changer
The sound of the Marantz CC-38 is so pleasant that it feels like it was specially shaped to create such a feeling. Perhaps the characteristic "Marantz" coloring is created by a slight rise in the frequency response in the midrange. But the possibility of choice, among other factors, is connected, in...

Denon DRM-660 Cassette deck
In terms of control capabilities and functions, the DRM-660 occupies, as it were, a middle position: two push-button stations and one four-digit counter with clearly distinguishable large numbers, showing not real time, but only some conventional units. But in fact, each broach has a counter with memory,...

Yamaha CDC-565 CD-changer
The operation and design of the CDC-565 is in the right ideological vein, considering the demands that are primarily placed on changers. The tray slides out so far that all five discs are visible. A separate button is provided for changing discs during playback. The player has a sub-index search. You...

Kenwood DP-R4090 CD-changer
The Kenwood DP-R4090 plays lively and realistically. Chamber acoustic recordings sound especially good on it - the space on such material is transmitted superbly. The localization of imaginary sound sources is undeniable, and the reverb tails are so smooth that it is tempting to listen to them alone....

Kenwood DP-3080 CD-player
This CD player, in terms of mechanics, is typical of the team under test. The disc drive in the DP-3080 is very similar to those used in models of this price group. The head is located on swiveling rails, which are lowered during loading and take a horizontal position during playback. From the "interactive"...

Philips CD721 CD-player
The models of the new 700-series have recently sprung up like from a horn of plenty. The CD721 takes the middle position in the new range of the company: the top model CD751 participated in our big test, and the simplest CD711 differs by the lack of an adjustable headphone output and remote control feature....

Onkyo DX-7310 CD-player
There is always something exceptionally proprietary about Onkyo hardware. And the DX-7310 is certainly no exception in this sense. The PWM ACCUPULSE single bit converter used in this CD player is a development of the company. A pleasant impression is left by the elaborate and thoughtful indication of...

Sherwood CD-3050R CD-player
The sound of the Sherwood CD-3050R CD-player is a bit cold-aspectful, old-fashioned in a good way. At the first listening (shelf speaker system) I got the impression of frequency response sloping - less bass, more treble. Sweep-tone test didn't confirm it: unevenness of AFC didn't exceed 0.5 dB (against...

Sony CDP-XE510 CD-player
Sonically, the Sony CDP-XE510 was one of the best on large speakers and in the midrange on shelf speakers and headphones. The balance and versatility are admirable. The unit transmits rock music with the right amount of force, and serious music without any hint of emasculation, carefully conveying all...

Yamaha TX-590RDS Tuner
The device is produced by the developer in a series that has a common slogan "Natural Sound" for all products, and this, in our opinion, is fully consistent with reality. The sound during FM reception was rated as excellent. The parameters of the FM pathway are also excellent: the sensitivity is almost...
