Review on 🎧 Exploring the Impressive Features of the RCA RP2601 Personal CD Player by Richard Lamptey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good sound, bad buttons

The first guy was right when he said the sound on this thing is excellent. I was skeptical, but Beethoven's 9th sounded better on it than it did on my JVC stereo. The eject button is the worst. It's relatively easy to change, but nearly impossible without holding the top. I haven't found an easy way to do this yet. Other buttons are easy to press but difficult to read. They are dark purple (some might call them blue) with marks, but the marks are very faint. Also, it does strange things with CD rotation. It seems to intermittently stop spinning the CD and then start up again. I think it should read the data in 60 seconds, and then stop the CD during playback. It's not, although it doesn't affect the sound in any way. I only noticed this because I was looking at it while listening to and writing this review.

Pros
  • 60 seconds espXtreme Electronic Skip Protection
Cons
  • Slightly torn
