To all audio expert,

	I am looking around for a mini hi-fi system, the one I have
shortlisted are :

	Aiwa NSX-K350 (3 disc changer with VCD)

	Sony MHC-GR5 (single disc, Dolby NR)

	Aiwa has more features (VCD, surround speakers, higher power),
however Sony spec seems to be better (S/N ratio, receiver sensitivity).
I have heard many stories that Aiwa mini hi-fi set tends to have CD
problem after some years of usage, the Aiwa CD mechanism seems to have
inherent design faults that require alignment after some time, otherwise
it will not be able to focus properly. Does anyone out there have any
bad experience with either Aiwa or Sony mini hi-fi set ?

	I don't really need the VCD feature, however I want a set that
is reliable and with reasonable sound performance. I would appreciate
any feedback or suggestions.

	Thanks for anyone out there for the replies !
