    *** Official "25TH HOUR" Review Thread

The dialogue during the "mirror" scene actually gave me goosebunks. I'm afraid this is going to be one of those gems...

    I'm looking for a good cd player in the 250-300 dollar range. It really just has to play CDs well. I don't need a recorder. A CD changer is fine, but I really want the quality of the sound to be good. Any suggestions?
