Help me choose a box :)

Ha ha, I just think needle meters would appeal to tech nerds & mechanics, while LED meters would appeal to party animals and fashionistas.

I like both types of meters, I think the design style, visual impact and prominence of each type can out do each other depending upon the individual merits of each.

Whatever you buy just make sure its fully functional that should save you some headaches down the road.

I think me posting the link to the ebay S90 has made someone here aware of it and it had been purchased before I could make a move.

I'll update here on what I eventually got and her response

If it's a first box for a non-collector, I would choose a box with LED meters, like a Lasonic. They provide some visual involvement to go with the sound. Plus I think the average girl/woman would like LED meters better than needle meters.

As long as the lights are a pretty shade of pink, eh?


Only joking, don't take it to heart!

Way to offend our one and only girl! Now we're gonna be back down to NONE!

I just picked up a great Palladium off ebay Germany, was cheap and in 100% working order at 130 euros. I have seen them cheaper too. Have a look HERE

Mid sized,
great sound,
LED's for the ladies!
240v
Also comes in Silver

Nice - but it would like much nicer in a leopard print with glittering Liberace style knobs.

Unfortunate that you didn't get this one.

You say she's an audiophile, well there is really only one true "hifi" boombox: The Telefunken Studio 1.

Several can be found on Ebay Germany every week. Example:

And yes it's a boombox, you can put batteries in it

I confess I have bought the tosh s90...I was looking at her for a couple of weeks while she was listed on the bay, it was just to tempting..so apologies to you for my bad Sir...go with Reli the studio 1 blows away 99% of boomers it's real hifi quality and there are plenty in germany

Nah, nothing wrong.
I actually had a fighting chance and it was my choice to try and bargain. Got caught out but that's how money works
I found one quite a bit more cheap, at 500 pounds restored and shipped, not the same condition but also nice and I think I'll be going for it.

That's great news at that price id grab her, mine was on the expensive side, I'm not sure how long I have left in this world so I thought what the hell and went for her.... nice one
