The Sharp X-60 was one of the more expensive items that I felt I needed terribly... And after about 1hr of searching the net I was able to buy a refubished unit for $120. After recieving it I found out that this unit had no problems at all even the astethics were all in top notch condition.

This unit is very good looking. The lights are excellent although it does get a little bright for my eyes at night, but thats not much of a problem now that I found out that it had a dimmer function. All the buttons on the unit are very well placed and recording is at the touch of a button.

As you probably already know this unit has separate 3cds trays, 1 md slot, and 1 tape slot. This makes recording mixes very easy because you can select the songs you want to start recording while you go do something else.

The recording is digital but only 1 speed but that doesn't bother me that much. Titling/Editing the MD is very easy as this unit has a jog dail which helps a lot.

The sound quality is very very good. I love it. It comes with 2 speakers with a total output of 80watts. Built into the unit is Bass Booster(X- Bass), 5 equalizer presets, and this unit can get very loud. I usually only have it set on 18 volume, but it can go up to 40.

The only complaint I have with this product is that the remote is not well designed. It is very hard to distinguish between the buttons as they are all the same size and shape. Other than that the X-60 was the ideal unit to begin with.

There are lots of other features that makes the X- 60 a great buy, such as clock display when the unit is off, digital input, mic, headphone jacks, 20 tuner settings, AUX1/2/dig, one touch recording between sources such as external, tape, cd1/2/3, and tuner.

In my opinion I feel that this unit is great buy.
