I am so crazy about the TDK!!!!
After spending the weekend with it, I am in love .
One of the nicest modern day boomboxes out there.
I cant stop looking at it either. It really is a high end piece of equipment.
So far as carrying it , I did put twelve D's in it this weekend and rocked it .
Not to bad , Not crazy about the handle but its not terrible either.

Wow! Great job Frank. I totally was unaware of this product. I like it alot but, the lack of some type of speaker grills would have me very nervous. I guess I'd have to just keep blasting it to scare the toddlers away from it. :lol:

No toddlers here except for jaetee's little David.

Hey if when you decide to visit let me know in advance, maybe we can get together with jaetee and go to his fathers wine & cigar store!

Nice place for libation, salutation & barbecue.

Hopefully we can get Ira, Monchito, Uncle Ed, & Skilphil to come also.

The carrying aspect has me interested though she may be heavy. The real portability of a heavy radio is down to the balance
of the handle design I've found. From the photos I'm not sold on the comfort of that flat style handle design, but I'm very interested
in your summations of it, Frank.
Rock On.

After careful consideration I decided to flip my handle around.
Major improvement and totally reversible.
I dont know why they didnt come from the factory this way.
Flipping the handle puts the cut out toward the front of the radio.
What this does is places your hand closer to the center of the radio
while carrying it.
Makes for a way better weight distribution and better view of your Ipod
when its in its spot at the top of the radio.
Thought I would pass this on to current owners and possible future owners.
With the way the handle is installed from the factory, it throws the weight off balance.
Especially with batteries installed.

That looks much better!
And is far more logical for more comfortable carry.

Definitely need one! Thanks, Frank!



Rock On.

I demoed the two speaker TDK today and was not very pleased with the tweeters. Played some pop(pit bull) off the radio and seemed the tweeters were a little muddy and not clear. The dial was up half way. I thought I could here noise from the speakers because the tweeters are set in the center of the speaker it self. The two speaker is ported in the back but there is no low bass even when tuned way up. There Is mid bass but it seems to me that that the music is very clear and sounds damn good from three feet away. If you move back it start lose it crispness.
I would suggest anyone getting this TDK to go with the three speakers.

I almost bit on the two speaker last night. As nice as it looks :drool: I am going to wait for three speaker. I am telling you it looks amazing in person.

Nice review! I agree it might achieve grail status especially if TDK stops making them soon.

I like the Altec too, but it's too thick to be a carry box.

I couldnt disagree more.
Do you have one or are you just speculating?
I have one and love carrying it around very easy to tote.

No I don't own one, but I played around with one. Granted it's lightweight, but it's pretty damn thick, and it has those grab handles that are easy to hit something.
