I made some cassette tapes from my 1986 CD104 (14 bits, 2x oversampling). They still sound respectable, and at least as good as any tapes I made from the more expensive and elaborate 16-bit and bitstream cdp's I owned through the '90s.But the 104 stopped working during the warranty period and their Philips service agents couldn't fix it, or didn't try. They even tried to charge me for warranty "repairs" that didn't work. In the end it took legal action to force them to refund my money - they offered me a new machine but there was no way I was going to take on their appalling reliability and service standards again.
Once again, putting my son through law school paid off. The legal fees of the local Philips agents,spent responding to my legal challenge over a $500 machine, would have been in the thousands, and I am sure they would have spent even more had they not discovered I was being represented by my son on a pro bono basis. Then they caved in and refunded the purchase price in full.
