Majority Oakcastle HIFI200 Compact HiFi Stereo System Reviewed

Hifi200 Lifestyle.1

Too expensive for what it is, with much better systems even from majority themselves available for similar money. It does have a nice tuner though, useful alarm and timer functions, handy Bluetooth connectivity and USB playback.

Sony CFD-G50L Boombox Repair

Sony Front :top Angle View

the culmination of the so-called ‘ghettoblaster’ in its best form after decades of refinement. This particular example had a few faults. The CD player didn’t read discs, the tape deck warbled hopelessly off key and FM radio reception wasn’t as good as I thought it should be.

Philips MC-151/12 Micro System Repair Fail

Front View Complete

You can’t save ’em all. This is a Philips MC-151 micro ‘hi-fi’ system, a far cry from the once-great audio division of Philips who produced the first cassette recorders, a myriad of portable and hi-fi turntables, one of the first consumer CD players and even owned Marantz for a time.

Yamaha CRX-M170 DAB CD Receiver Repair

Yamaha Crx M170 Overall Inside

a Yamaha CRX-M170 CD receiver offered on Freecycle recently sparked my interest. It was listed as having a couple of faults – a temperamental CD player and an erratic volume knob. These are plentiful on the second-hand market for little or no cost and are well worth a punt.

Edifier S350DB Review

Edifier S350 front view of 3 speakers

If you’re after plenty of inputs, smart aesthetics and convenience features with better sonics than the average one box solution, these are worth a look. For no compromise audio performance, look elsewhere.
