In fact, you will be more impressed. The moment you pick it up you'll know what I mean. This player is over 30#. More importantly, it sounds better than it looks. Very much doubt you will not be very pleased.

If I had to guess based on muscle memory (comparing it to my Chinook), I'd bet it's around 50dB or so.
