Hey Friends!
The box finally arrived. In typical ebay fashion, the Sharp arrived with 20+ years of sticky grime.. I'm a box freak, I really enjoy cleaning and re storing.
'Nuff said, I cleaned the ever loving sh out of it, cleaned all switches / sliders and voila! I hooked up my ipod and let 'er roll.
Sound: I find the sound crisp and detailed with a super quick attack. The overall sound is excellent. The eq is very effective too, not to mention the lovely spectrum analyzer.. Swwwweet. BUT - both cassette decks are dead, so I have more cleaning, lubing, and belts to replace.
* Anyone who's read my posts knows I'm starved for bass, and I have to say this box delivers enough to satisfy.
One of my favorite albums is "Sandanista" by The Clash. If you know this album, there's so many amazing frequencies to explore. The sharp eq allows you to effectively dial in and hear everything.
*If my battle worn brain remembers correctly, I think the street price was somewhere around $400. Man - In college, I barely had enough money for top ramen. I remember all my friends were intrigued by new flat woofers (Sony and others).
For the short time being, I have a new favorite box.
Again, I'm so glad I have a place to share my love and obsession. Thanks for the friendship guys!
