If a player unit must be turned down so low as to sound dreadful,
why bother at all?  Why not play the radio or record player where the
sound can be adjusted to sound like it was coming through the eye of
a needle?  Give me a well adjusted realistic sounding player any day.

Right on, George Bogatko!  I agree.  I am copying your note, and
framing it for the top of our Ampico!
