Digital camera reviews of Yamaha CDC-697BL 5-Disc Carousel-Type CD Changer
Digital camera Review: 3.5 stars- They don't make em like they used to
Summary: 3 Stars
My CDC-625, which I bought 17 years ago, finally conked out on me just a few days ago and I decided to try out the CDC-697. Aesthetically my old 17 year old changer looks better than this one. Everything looks cheaper like Yamaha doesn't care about fine craftmanship anymore. When you press the button for the tray to come out it pauses about 3 or 4 seconds before the tray comes out. On my old changer it came out immediately. It is true as other customers have noted that when the cd tray is open you can't turn it around. I've tried every way possible but it just won't turn while open so Yamaha has regressed and not progressed over the last 17 years. I don't like the long thin remote that now comes with the changer. The old remote from my other unit looked really cool compared to this one. Some other reviewer said that this had a good balance of treble and bass but it sounds to me like it's geared far more to the high frenquencies and there isn't much bass compared to my old CDC-625. My CDC-625 had great treble response but it played them a lot smoother than this unit. Maybe since I've listened so long to my old unit my ears just need adjusting and everything will turn out fine. I've only listened to two cds so far and I think that they were equalized favoring the high frenquencies anyway so maybe there really isn't a problem after all. This still is probably at the top or near the top of all cd changers out there on the market now, but still, they are making changers more cheaply and don't expect to like this as much as the cd changers from 10-17 years ago made from Yamaha.
