I'm wondering if there is a recommendable mini-stereo system that has a
line-in feature. Of primary importance to me is sound quality. I do
not need a tape deck, just radio and CD.

I actually just threw out a really good Pioneer(?) mini stereo that was
from '86. I swear the made-in-Japan sound quality on it was better
than most mini systems, but after all this time, the volume controls
had corroded, nevermind all other obvious age issues.

Thanks.
