    I know that's the saying, but I have to confess; I hate beer. Don't care for wine, either. I agree with Sheldon Cooper; to me, it's "grape juice that burns" :LOL: But give me a cocktail with an umbrella in it, and I'm good to go.

    Oh I agree! No worries. I do understand why the other poster said that, as I could, if I wanted to, hear a bit of that tone at first in that one post. But it's cool. No harm, no foul. :cool:

    Wow. We were searching the same thing; you owe me a beer lol. I was looking online again last night, and this model is the one I settled on temporarily until I had a chance to see if anyone had any replies here. I very much appreciate it, thank you.

    I hadn't thought about the dvd players. Might look into that, thanks. And I agree with you about the plastic rubbish. As for ripping the CDs, yeah I know, but I really want to play the CDs themselves. Sorry, it's the music purist in me.

    Hi everyone, I'm new here and hope this is the right place to post this question. I have a ton of CDs and have been neglecting them for far too long; within the next 3 or 4 years, I'm hoping to put together a good home system for playing CDs as well as vinyl.
