On Thursday arrived my first Lasonic Boombox. I bought it from Ebay. The Seller wrote that it´s a new / never used Boombox with damaged Package. I don´t mind if it´s 100€ cheaper then the next similar Modell. I asked the seller if it´s the Euro-230V- or the US-110V-Modell. And it´s a true Euro-Modell :w00t: .
It arrived in a Box where the original Box with the Boombox was thrown in, but nothing happened (it seems, I have always luck with crappy packed Boomboxes :angelic: ).

The first Impressions where: "Man, these look really so cheapish, they all saying." Then i testet a SD-Card with MP3s, and yes, I like that Thing, it´s great. I mean, I have better sounding vintage Boomers, but this one works with so many different Inputs, it doesn´t sound bad and can get really loud. I think, it sounds even better now, then when it arrived. I love it, I love it to bits :-P .

Ok, the Radio Tuner is average. The Graphics (esspecially the Fake Tuner Scale) are meh, the Volume Knop turns sometimes in the wrong Direktion :lol: and I would prefer the look of the 1st or 2nd gen TRC931, but you can´t have everything.
And I would everytime pay that Price again (149€ + 6,90€ shipping). Too sad, there aren´t proper retailers in Germany. They cost here usually around 250 to more than 300€. :'-(

As you maybe already expected, it´s an i931

Now I´m waiting for an updated GF-777 with USB- and SD-Slot. Sharp, do you read this? :blush:

But here some Pics:

Yes, a true Euro-Modell:

A day after it arrived, i noticed, that it´s the updatet i931x-Modell. But I don´t care, cause I don´t use iAnything :-D.

Did I mention, that it´s an all red-Modell, now it is. :thumbsup:

Very cool, I love the red too but it would cost $400 to have it shipped to states :-(. I guess I will have to paint one :-)

...and I listen too it the whole Weekend, already. It´s a great Rockbox, but it can handle other Musicstyles too.

I can´t understand the bashing against Lasonic from some People (esspecially Americans). You can get them so damn cheap. You could buy (nearly :lol: ) every Colour for collecting, then one for the Garage/Hobbyroom, one for office/work, and one as a beater. And you still have some Sparemoney.
I mean, they are built cheap (which Lasonic isn´t?), but they are sold cheap too. And at least the performance counts (to me). And it´s really not bad. And if the Electronics are durable. I won´t regret to buy one.

btw: I bought the red, because it was the cheapast, I could find. I don´t hate it, but I´d prefered a Black or an all white one. But I keep it. Seems to be rare here and there. ;-)

Congrats dude.Love the red color. I dont use anyting "i" too but have one in black too. Love to use sometimes some of the sd cards from my laptops where i have ot of music. Its so damn easy. And the sound is not bad at all. Sad that the tuner is below average tho. But i love it. And will keep her. i bought my new , but no box and no remote for 70 euro ( shipping included :thumbsup: ). And i keep her together with the old 931. Now i want to collect all "wanna be" 931s :-D .
Enjoy her.

WHOA....I have NEVER seen RED before!

I figured Bill had them all :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mike, what a score! It's nice to have you on the "Lasonic Lovers" side. I swear I just don't know why these get so much hate mail :no:

You are totally right, for the price and the availability, you can beat the shiat out of them and throw it away and get another one (or give it to me :-D )

My White on White is in regular rotation with my other traveling blasters. :yes:

Not my iPad :no:

I will gladly trade you for a Black one :-)

Congrats Mike. I like it in Red too. I've been using both my White and Black i931X radios this Summer. I was Rocking My AC/DC songs last night outside and LOVE the remote control option. I don't have to get up and turn it up/down or change songs from 25 ft.. away :thumbsup: :thumbsup: That is very convenient. I rediscovered that it does sound pretty good. I also adjust my iPod's EQ settings to boost the bass/treble and drop it in the radio to get more bass/treble. :cool: I love them.

Sorry, but it´s a Keeper. But you maybe want some Vintage Boomers. I want the other Colours too. :-P Or do you have already the i931bt with graphic Eqs? :lol:
But if you find a cheap one in Europe, i could maybe help to get it cheaper. I know this site selling red (and gold) Lasonics:
http://www.veentage.com/products-page/
But they´re not cheap to me. :-/

You ain't kidding about Veentage. I've looked into them before and that's pretty much why I painted up a Gold I931 ;-)
