Yeah man, I've seen some of those real nice Hitachis of yours that you posted, I really think they are built cool too!
The guy I got it from acquired it from an estate sale, and thats how I got it! I need to take some time and give it a nice wipedown..

The Crown CSC-950F is dope!! That's a box I almost wish I never sold! That said, I want another one!

Yeah, I love the look of the 3 Perdisco's I have... Probably have to get one of those models you have at some point!

its very rare and lucky to ever get a good $$ deal from estates sales --
i buy from estate sellers also --

very clean boxes -- YES !!!

but --usually ... very high prices -- because these professionals know the ebay prices $$$ and market
values of every radio // every door knob , mirror etc etc and every product that was ever made !!!!

It might be a little rare and lucky, because I paid $40 for the Hitachi + $15 to ship it.. it was only 1 state away!

Love the Hitachi!...got an 8190 on it's way to me, hope it looks as good as your 82!

 

[redbenjoe]

anyone know the 8190 vs the 8290 difference ?

Wow that Hitachi is OFF THE HOOK! Does it sound as great as it looks?
It must sound better than the Crown 950?

Judging from the sound of my 3 Perdisco's and what I remember of the 950 I used to own, the Crown has better bass...
If that Hitachi 8290 sounds similar to my best sounding Perdisco, the TRK-8800RM, it has better highs than the 950.

That Hitachi has more controls than most so-called grails

Yes, it is real clear and crisp also LOUD AS HELL! Its not a big thumper, like MONO said the Crown has better bass.. But the Hitachi just SCREAMS!! I was surprised when I got it..
Anything below 5 on the Volume sliders is good for "indoor loud", but anything 6-10 is "outdoor blastin" Volume!

Really? I must say I'm not too impressed with the bass of my 950... I feel it doesn't have a tight "kick" and it doesn't go all that loud. The LED's are bad ass no denying it!

Ahh sounds sweet! Well in a way bass is kind of wasted outdoors... It's mos def the mids and highs that carry in open areas. Congratz on two gorgeous boxes anyway man!

these blast especially out doors ,what they lack in bass they make up for with sheer loud blasting sound .
