Well, part 2 of my annual grail buy arrived today. I had some money left over after the purchase of my M70 from Tiko, so I went to e-pay and, low and behold if there wasn't a box for sale that I had drooled over when it was first advertised here on Boomboxery. I made a "best offer" and stynger007 accepted. I wasn't quite sure what the sound would be like, but after searching the archives and reading members opinions of the Prosonic brand I was optimistic to say the least. So here she is...
She could use a bath, but after a Full Patron everything will shine. The sound, though, is very beefy. Marginally better than my re-woofered GF-777, but not in the same league as an RX-CS780. What convinced me to go for it, though, was stynger007's assertion that the deck had been "Seller Refurbished," i.e. new belts, etc. And boy howdy does that deck purr like a kitten.
I know some of you have this boomer, but here's a size comparo just the same. This is it next to my M70...
Well that's it for this year. Can't wait for next year but that's 365 years to dream!
