I have had a Koala for a about a year now and I must say that it has perfromed flawlessly. I am not a big fan of the .50 cent remote that it came with, a player of this cost should have come with a decent remote. One thing I must say is that it sounds absolutly wonderful and compared to the Stibbert that I had in my home there was not 3K worth of difference in sound to jjustify the expense. It is a high end player with limited features but it is musical and very pleasent to listen to.
Bluenote Reliability
Any Bluenote Koala Tube cd player owners care to comment on reliability. I heard the player and really like the sound, but the build looks a bit iffy.I have had allot of reliability issues with cd players lately(exposure, copland)so i am sick of servicing downtime.Any owner input would be much appreciated.
