I just bought a portable CD player from a drugstore for $12, including
headphones and a couple of batteries. It was made by a company called
Coby, that I've never heard of.

LOL. I love seeing 'Coby' stuff, just for the shamelessness
of their attempt to fool people into confusing it with Sony,
with their sorta-soundalike name and the same font.

The place that I see Coby most frequently is in local National Liquidators
and Odd-Job Stores. The store names speak for themselves.


It plays CDs all right, as well as
CD-R, and doesn't sound half bad over the supplied headphones. When
connected to my living room system it's pretty much indistinguishable
from higher price players. Soon I will tear it apart and find out
how it's designed and built. Stay tuned.

Will do.
