Strength:
Warm sound, true balanced design, looks.
Weakness:
Quality? It sounds very undigital with lots of details and a certain degree of warmth. I bought it new and has problems with the CD tray, it makes a resonance that is so big that it makes the CDs skip. I've placed a sorbothane puck on it and the resonance disappeared. Something is wrong with it and I will return it to the dealer. Similar Products Used: Arcam Alpha 7,7SE,8SE |

Strength:
Great highs, mids, clean sound. Good soundstaging. Very musical. Great styling.
Weakness:
See summary below. This clean sounding, musical CD player has no sonic flaws. The soundstaging, balance of lows-mids-highs, and the presence of instruments are outstanding. Well recorded disks sing, and even poorly recorded ones are still bearably good. Player works extremely well with other Thule products in the 150 series. Remote control thoughtfully designed and also operates Thule pre-amp and amp. Search speed very fast, have not seen better. Only problem: in first 3 months of ownership, drawer mechanism stuck shut. Dealer provided new replacement in one day and have not had any problems with this new unit. Similar Products Used: Pioneer (don't remember which model), Audio Analogue Paganini, CAL CL-15 |

None at this point. The Thule CD-player, CD 150B MkII, really deliveres the music with accuracy and sharpness. |
