Page 1 of Denon, Sony or Teac? which make does it for you?

her indoors is looking at purchasing a CD mini system and has it down to either a Denon DM50, Sony DHCMD373 or Teac Reference 300.

I`ve tried to get her to go for one with DVD included but apparently there isn`t much choice out there plus if you want best CD audio sound then you shouldn`t go for a system which is DVD/CD! I`ve offered to give her 10 quid towards it if she changes her mind! I`m generous or what!

So my question is ... Sony, Denon or Teac? which make is best? it appears from the reviews I`ve seen that Denon is a classy make - is this true? is the stuff Denon produce reliable and is it quality kit?

all comments appreciated?

Avoid mini-systems and buy separates mate, it`s the only way :-)

Out of the three, I`d plump for Denon every time.

Both Denon and Teac make some quality kit and both the DM-30 (smaller brother of the DM-50) and the ref-300 have won awards. Steer clear of sony.

All the best,

Andrew.

Absolutely got to be the Denon.
We`ve had a Denon M30 in the house for a while now, and people still marvel at just how excellent it sounds. It sounds more like proper hifi, not a mini system. The Mission based speakers are very nice as well.

As Andrew says, take a wide berth at Sony street!
