I have had the Integra 8.5 for about six weeks now. No problems so far (knock on wood). Sound quality is simply amazing and video is the best I’ve ever seen. It’s markedly better than my Toshiba and the Toshiba is no slouch in the video category. It’s nice to pop in six CD’s for parties and get togethers. That’s why I went with this unit. I am disappointed with MP 3’s and WMA’s disks though. They just don’t sound right after listening to CD’s. I know that’s another topic, but worth mentioning for the folks who burn party disks and play them in single disk players.
