Hello everyone,

I have a 91 Accord EX sedan and the original HONDA audio does not accept the
audio tape in. But radio is fine.
I dont know if its a good idea to get it fixed or buy a new one.
I was looking for cheap but decent CD players and saw one called XTREME
WMS353 which is for $90 at Walmart. I don't know if its a decent one to buy.

All your suggestions /feedback would be valuble to me.

Thanks in advance !

Get a pioneer...
Check ebay...trust me you won't be sorry...they are great CD players....will
make your speakers sound a lot better.
You might want to look into buying a set of 6 x 9's or 6.5's also...they
will really sound good with your new stereo head.

Buy a new one! If you go to a good electronics store or stereo store you
can get a new CD player that is decent for under 200 bucks. If you can even
get the tape deck repaired it will probably cost u just as much.

If you want it to last, buy something name brand. Check out your local Best
Buy - their website shows a number of CD receivers by Pioneer, JVC or
Kenwood in the $120-130 range. I'm sure you can find it for even less if
you shop online.

Cheers,

Pete

No personal experience with the site you listed, but I bought from
www.thezeb.com before and had good experience. Lower prices than
Crutchfield of course.

Cheers,

Couldn't agree with you more. Similar to buying a car without test driving
or seeing it. May get lucky or may be disappointed.

I guess, then I need to be careful, look at the stuff before buying.

Thanks .

Be careful with Crutchfield. Trust your ears. I was about to buy some
speakers which were recommended as a direct fit for my '88 Civic that
Crutchfield had given good reviews. Well, I went and listened to them at a
couple of stores and quickly discovered that they were not what I wanted,
they sounded dull and lifeless. Even my old stock speakers sounded better.
