Digital camera reviews of Panasonic SC-PM28 Executive Microsystem with 5-CD ChangerDigital camera Review: Doubly impressed Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this stereo overseas, and was blown away by the clarity of sound. I liked the sophisticated appearance (no piling on of plastic and such) and easy-to-read display. When I shipped the unit home, the USPS managed to wreck it, and by that time the model was out of production. I spent months looking for another one, and finally found it, only to realize how much I missed the powerful sound and clean lines--all the newer micro system models looked cheap and gaudy in comparison. No system is perfect--if you only listen to hip-hop or bass heavy music, this probably isn't the system for you. But if you like guitar rock, pop, or jazz, this system does an amazing job. The design is the best around, and the cd changer is relatively quiet compared to other models. The only question I would ask Panasonic is about the tape function--do they even sell cassettes anymore? Hmmm. I bought this item twice and would buy it again any day.
Summary of Panasonic SC-PM28 Executive Microsystem with 5-CD ChangerPanasonic's SC-PM28 executive microsystem offers style and power, pumping 70 watts per channel from its sleek, silver casing and wood-finished speakers. The SC-PM28 includes a single-well cassette recorder and a five-CD changer with Panasonic's exclusive MASH (multi-stage noise shaping technology) 1-bit digital-to-analog converter for clear, accurate sound reproduction. And the system plays not only pre-recorded CDs but home-brewed CD-Rs and CD-RWs filled with MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files. The quick and quiet disc-changing system swaps CDs in as little as four seconds, so your next listening selection is never more than seconds away. When listening in random-play mode, this helps present tracks from different discs more seamlessly than other changers are able to. A feature called Compression Digital Re-Master Processing compensates for the high harmonic frequencies lost through the MP3 and WMA compression, resulting in more natural-sounding music. In some cases, standard CDs and other sources will also benefit from this processing. To ensure powerful, clear, and virtually distortion-free audio, the system features a bi-amplified, bi-wired configuration, which splits the amplifier's labor to independently power each speaker driver for more efficient power usage. Super Sound EQ boosts the low, medium, and high frequencies at the touch of a button for a dynamic boost in sound without complicated EQ adjustments, while four preset equalizer curves are also included. Other features include a drift-free, digital-synthesized tuner with 30-station (15 FM, 15 AM) presets, TPS (Tape Program Sensor, which lets you search forward or backward across up to nine cassette songs), detachable speaker grilles (in case you prefer the look of naked tweeters and woofers), and a multi-function remote control.
