Audio Recordings of Boomboxes

[eldorado]

Maybe we could record a bit of ' some ' boomboxes playing,

with good some pro microphones and post some results here.

I will do that soon for both of my boomboxes

My Hitachi TRK-8190E

and my SANWA 701B

then i pose this interesting question grasshopper.
if a recording of a sharp boombox is played through a jvc boombox which boombox will it sound like..........

Nice idea!

The question is, how comes it over from the net?
With cheap computer speakers the result will be ruined....

Yup... while I really the idea... the only real way to accurately compare boombox to boombox sound is in person, when you can control all of the variables and limit them to the bare minimum.

Even for those of us who regularly go to the Sunshine meet, the question of line-in vs. cassette vs. radio comparisons always comes up and is just as much of a debate... Personally, I use mostly tapes (and did in the past) so I prefer to do cassette vs. cassette comparisons, even though using same source and a splitter to two boombox line-ins and simply dialing to the same FM radio station are the easiest ways to have the same signal going to a boombox.... Then again, I'm a nutso tapehead.

So, imagine trying to do that kind of comparison over the internet and with different microphones and all different source material... oy-vay!

i will record

my boomboxes using

my EV664 and my PC with cool edit to record,

and then i will post the audio files on any host,

for you guys to compare.
