If you favor a sleek look, modest sound, lots of features, and a bargain price in your music machine, the Koss PC 68 CD boombox is a good bet. Tastefully designed in silver and black, this boombox has curvaceous lines, a disappearing handle, and nice metal grille.
Rap lovers will probably find the box's bass inadequate, even with the 7-watt superwoofer cranked to the max. But for playing wide-open pop, jazz, country, and folk, the PC 68's sound is reasonably detailed and natural. The bass is decently articulated; guitars, pianos, cymbals, and steel drums sound reasonably accurate; and saxes show some sass. With a good set of headphones, music on the Koss PC 68 sounds even better.
Running the show is a low-key exercise. Thanks to the well-designed (and color-coordinated) infrared remote control, you can skip across the digitally tuned AM/FM radio bands. In fact, you can program up to 20 station presets and access them via the unified up/down/search/skip toggle button on the remote. Other controls on the remote manipulate volume, switch the radio band between FM and AM, and instantly mute the sound.
A multitude of rubbery controls on the remote--duplicated on the face of the box--are dedicated to operating the top-loading CD player. Tap the Intro button, and the player automatically delivers just the first 10 seconds of each track on a CD. This feature is useful when you're searching for a particular song or want to quickly audition an unfamiliar disc.
The built-in tape deck, also top loading, lets you make custom-mixed tapes from CD or radio. The tape deck is basic--there's no Dolby noise reduction, auto-reverse, or remote-controllable operations--but it gets the job done. For best recording results, use a name-brand, normal-grade ferrous-oxide tape. More expensive varieties will actually sound poorer because the tape deck is equalized for Normal/Type I cassettes.
With a fair amount of metal on board and solid construction throughout, this Koss has more heft to it than other boomboxes in the same size range. When loaded up with eight D-cell batteries, it can seem a little heavy when you're lugging it around by the handle.
