Philips used to make great CD players.....20 years ago.
My Philips-based Magnavox CDB460 has been trouble free & great-sounding since I bought it.....March 1988.
All the giants of audio in the 50's, 60's, & 70's; are now gone or total jokes (how could Fisher have sunk SO low??).
True, Marantz has made a respectable come back.
But the others?
G-A-R-B-A-G-E!!!!
My still working 1981 Denon DRA-600 receiver, is solid metal & simple to operate.
But the new Denon A/V receivers?
Plastic, 165 buttons, and you need a BS in EE to operate it.
This is progress??
