Title: First time, lasted 6 months; 2nd time, scratched my CD's
Review: I've had two of these now. It plays well and sounds good at first. Then just when you think it's your trusted friend, it starts giving you trouble. The first one broke after six months. The second one put a knick in one of my CD's and scratched another to the point of being unplayable (i.e. you can see light through the scratch when you hold it up to the light), so now I will have to replace the CD. Fortunately the ruined CD is a disc I can replace relatively easily (the disc it ruined was "Vortex" by Amon Düül II in case you're wondering), but I'm still not happy about it; that's $14 I could have spent on something else. I should also mention that at least the second one has lasted about 9 months, so better, but come on now...
Is the review positive or negative?
