I bought one last year as the TSV, coming back for another. I got it to replace my 20+ yr old clock radio/cd player in the bedroom. This is $20 cheaper than last year and this unit will go in the living room.
This is Bose wave technology, not true stereo so you won't have bass, treble, etc but the sound is wonderful for the price.
Haven't had issues playing any cd's, including those I burned on my laptop.
