Sony Hi-Fi: Yabba-DABba-Do

Slot-loading CD players are great. Tray-loaders are ugly protrusions that spoil the futuristic allure of our favourite toys. So what could be better than a Sony slot-loading CD system that also has a DAB digital radio? Nothing, we say, which is why we've got the Sony CMT-GPX9DAB set up on our desk, laying down some urban grooves and generally causing a disturbance to those around us.

The system has that unmistakable Sony chic about it, something that's completely destroyed by a tape deck. It's like buying a brand new DVD recorder that also has a slot for Betamax tapes. Flanking the silver unit like two wooden beasts of the night, the 35W speakers can keep up with drum 'n' bass, while providing the sweet detail of a Norah Jones CD.

We'll let you know if the system is worth your hard-earned in an upcoming review. -GC
