I bought the Sony CMT CPX11 for the following reasons: It is compact It's a Sony - I've always had good service from Sony products It was at the right price It sounds great It is not too ostentatious The main unit has a single cassette tape, an FM/AM tuner and a single CD.

Expected Sony to offer better quality, and the price of spare parts makes it almost more expensive to fix it than buying another one. It has a very practical auxiliary connection that allows to play the audio of your video and the looks of the case are quite nice. ...  Read the complete review
