What B.S., you didn't compare the sony because you said it was "too expensive", but include a full size tape deck? You could've at least got a wm-2 as a cheaper model, or even a wm-11. I think you just didn't want to make the filo look as bad as it actually is. Also chi-fi sucks, never spare any expense when making something thats supposed to be high quality.
A MySKU forum user set out to pit used products released over 40 years ago against a brand-new product released just a few months ago. The results are somewhat surprising and may appear rather distressful to many advocates of Chi-Fi out there.
