My minisystem, which I rely on for tuner input to MD, bit the dust and needs
to be replaced.
I'm waffling between two models of Aiwa's NSX-AJ series: the NSX-AJ14 has 15W
per channel, while the NSX-AJ17 has 30W but costs more. (Exactly how much
more I'm still trying to determine, because there's a rebate on the 14 and I
can't find out whether it appplies to the 17.) I bought a 14 but thought of
these things on the way home, so it's still sealed in its carton.
The deceased system had only 5W per channel, but it was more than loud enough
for my bedroom, and I'm far past the age when one wants one's sound system to
shake the walls. A salesperson at Circuit City told me that higher wattages
improve quality (whatever exactly that means), not just potential volume.
But I'd be recording to MD from the headphone jack, not the speaker connec-
tions; do wattage differences affect the headphone output? If not, I might
as well keep the 14. If so, I can try the 14 to see if its headphone output
is loud enough, but what about this "quality" issue?
Any applicable advice will be appreciated.
