Harmon Kardon FL 8380 CD Player
Harman Kardon's stylish five-CD FL8380 CD player offers great sound, convenient features, and solid value. And while some may think twice about investing in a CD-only disc player in what is clearly the age of DVD, we have no such reservations about recommending this one. Another important factor in the quality of this machine is Harman Kardon itself, a company with a longstanding commitment to great sound. And with the FL8380, HK has halved the retail price of its predecessor, the esteemed FL8370. Operationally and sonically, this unit seems every bit as good as the FL8370, but if Harman Kardon is cutting any corners, it's hard to tell where they are. The player gives you both analog and digital outputs; depending on the amplifier or receiver you're using this with, you may want to avail yourself of both. The analog outputs afford you the extra sonic quality of CDs encoded in HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital), while the coaxial digital-audio output facilitates hookup with an audio/video receiver or a CD recorder.
Mechanically, the FL8380 is quieter than other CD changers, a definite boon when listening in close quarters. However, the analog audio output level is also quieter, possibly due to the HDCD chip, which grants extra dynamic range to HDCD-encoded recordings but requires that non-HDCD discs be reproduced slightly lower in level. The most convenient thing about a multidisc changer, apart from being able to listen to more than six hours of uninterrupted tunes, is the ability to listen to music radio-style, where the player jumps to a fresh track from a fresh disc after every song you hear. The good news is, the FL8380 offers not one but three random-play modes. The bottom line remains, though, that this is a darn good CD player. Whether you're committed to stereo sound, maintaining a quality listening system as part your home theater, or putting together a good backroom system, the FL8380 is a great choice.
