New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Based upon what Total Contact has done for my little ten-dollar Kenwood CD player, geoffkait may be closer to the truth than he realizes. Its just a used, cheap vintage CD player that probably cost under $200 when new. Now, it holds its own agains...

tablejockey ..If you're from that era did you ever make it up to Hermosa Beach and frequent the Lighthouse? I spent many a night there listening to the Lighthouse Allstars. Great jazz. Check it out ...http://www.thelighthousecafe.net/history.html
