3 months ago I bought my PianoCraft, previously I had taken a lot of time for extensive online research and eventually made several listening test in the shops of my choice. And, yes, research and listening tests have paid off thoroughly: the PianoCraft is excellent!

The build quality is very solid all around! On the piano lacquer of boxes I could have done without good person, but it does not hurt, too, ultimately he is I do not care ...
The difference in the blueness of the displays is sooo small that it for me
in any way disturbing or disharmonious acts. I have quite high demands on the complementarity of my interior, but this slight color variation is for me at best a case of Peanuts ;-)

The operating capabilities of PianoCraft meet my needs in every way:
There is a simple Sleep timer, treble and bass control and otherwise all the usual basic functions.
I would like to highlight here the remote control. The appearance selbiger (ie only based on design) is completely snuff me - even if was wailing elsewhere that they look like from the old days,
I like it. Much more important than the design of the range of the remote control or the sensitivity of the receiving sensor for me. And on this point the PianoCraft convinced really absolutely. Even if the remote control is turned away to 180 ° of the PianoCraft, the connection is working. This can certainly not be said of any device of our time, and I find it extremely comfortable!

It is true that (as mentioned in another review), the display does not permanently remain on as the clock when it stops it. Also the numbers of the remaining CD tracks are not displayed (which I personally find then already ugly). But even if these things are certainly in need of improvement, this is no reason to deduct a star for me.

Because the sound of PianoCraft is so good, so small blemishes simply not worthy to be. To leave out in detail about the sound here, would certainly be out of place - who buys such a system, it must go into business and convince his own ears!
I would particularly like to mention here only the Pure Direct function: on the idea of ​​setting up such a function, you have to come first. Perhaps the inventor of this idea was not Yamaha (this missing
me the overview), commonplace but the implementation of this feature is now not quite sure! And I find this feature "on the way to faithfully reproducing the most" simply outstanding!

It may be that I replace the speaker of PianoCraft someday to better. BUT! This is in no way directed against the original speaker! It may well be that I even with these spending a very long time, without being even one whit less happy! Better always goes, but judging from the PianoCraft, this already starts in a remarkably high level!

So if you want to purchase such a mini-plant, I can put the PianoCraft only his heart. There is in this price range only a serious alternative (the Denon 102), although not sounds better to my ears, and the defiance of even a good deal more expensive. The PianoCraft you can (but in any case I) are happy old :-)
