Advantages: good quality
Disadvantages: lacking in features
The Sony '330 CD is almost at the bottom of the pile for their CD decks (basically, it's a '220 with a supplied remote control included.
The '330 is a very basic machine and if you are serious about hi-fi, I'd spend a few quid more on some of the higher spec machines which have more controlable features, other than the basic "open drawer, put CD in and then play it".
One single optical output as well as the standard phono outs make this piece of kit very basic but being a Sony, the sound quality is decent but the casing is a little bit too big (it must use the same chassis as the '530 and others) as the buttons and other controls look lost on the front panel - otherwise, it is smart in appearance in it's standard, smart black finish - the proper colour for hi-fi (silver units are awful to keep clean and look cheap, no matter how much they cost). A handy feature is that if you own a Sony minidisc deck, than that remote will control this deck. It does the absolute basic functions well, though.
Its up to you if you want an additional remote. If you have the MD, get the 220 and save a tenner. It seems a daft choice having both the '220 and '330 on the market at the same time.

- 03/02/02 Yove only really said about the features its got and not mentioned the sound quality. It makes me wounder if you really own this product. It also sounds better than the 220 but not as good as the 530. |

- 02/02/01 Sorry for only giving this opinion somewhat useful, but I'd like to see some more details on how the CD-player sounds and what sort of music it can handle. Does it sound good straight out of the box? Does it suit you? Come on - we wanna know :) Email me if you update... |
