Myryad MXC6000 CD-player
Workmanship and design, I was pleased. Devices from Britain on the background of "Japanese" look often primitive and sometimes clumsy, but this is not about MXC6000 say - something elegant. At the rear is worth a few slots tires My-Link extended "multiroom" control - here's another item, indirectly indicating...
