If we could give a most-valuable-player award to an audio component, the Memorex MD6450CP personal CD player would be a top candidate. By packaging a high-quality portable with an AC adapter, patch cord, and car stereo adapter, Memorex delivers a product that moves from your hip to your home to your car with surprising dexterity. This package even includes a padded wallet to carry 12 of your favorite CDs.
In addition to the basic operations (play/pause, stop, forward, reverse), the MD6450CP includes a button that overrides the antishock memory in order to save battery life when stationary. It also has an excellent LCD display and a mode selector that enables 24-track programming, disc and track repeat, and an intro option that plays the first 30 seconds of each song. The left side of this sleek machine features a Bass Boost switch that provides the lightweight, flimsy headphones with welcome low-frequency augmentation. Volume, power, headphone, and line-out facilities are on the MD6450CP's right.
The key to the MD6450's versatility is its generous 40-second antishock protection. How does it work? As the disc plays, the upcoming 40 seconds of music are continually stored in a "buffer memory." If a bump, fall, or other impact causes the player to skip, the player immediately defaults to this memory storage, giving you uninterrupted playback.
During a series of torture tests, which included hiking, biking, jogging, and off-road driving in an SUV, this player delivered a steady stream of music without interruption. The ability to add CD capability to a cassette-only car stereo is a particularly attractive option. Plug the power adapter into the vehicle's cigarette lighter and the player's power socket, pop the adapter into the cassette deck, connect it to the headphone output, and you'll be treated to a first-class audio experience.
Connecting this unit to your home stereo is equally simple. The supplied patch cords run between the player's line-out socket and any stereo input (except phono) on your receiver. Connect the AC adapter and start spinning discs! Compared to more expensive home units, the Memorex lacks subtle musical details and can't achieve the airy, three-dimensional presentation of the best high-end machines. Thanks to its 1-bit digital-to-analog converter, it offers consistently pleasant and fatigue-free sound.
The included headphones are a minor disappointment; they're merely adequate. Needless to say, using the MD6450 with a better set will yield noticeably improved audio.
Whether you're shopping for a personal CD player, a new car stereo, or even a new home system, the Memorex MD6450CP should be near the top of your "must hear" list. --Anthony Chiarella
Pros:
Along with the CD player, you receive a car connection kit, stereo headphones, an AC adapter, and a neoprene CD wallet. The Memorex MD6450CP carries a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
