tosh 40

[redbenjoe]

not to over-emphasize the importance of this box--
but rather than screw up the great sinshine mix threads--
------
lets have a separate post about this rare one
=============================================
and even more important than this special box--
is the proof and the SPIRIT it provides --that in the great wide world of boomboxes-
ANYTHING can happen ---anytime

like --we presume that blasterpunk has the worlds ONLY silver jvc rc 550 ???

and we were sure that gordie owned the ONE and only gold conion in existance --right
yet in the past 1/2 year both lopez and gordie found TWO more gold conions

likewise --i had been drooling//praying for YEARS that litfan and/or roddy might sell me
a tosh 40 --as i was convinced --they had the only two on the planet

WRONG --a few months ago --i found this one -- locally, right near here in the unlikely state of florida !!!

so --now we all know for sure --there ARE these rare grails --
and they can be anyplace
-----------------------------------------------------------

ok - thats the sermon -
lets get to the 'how does it sound' part '

well --many of us are and always will be on a mad mission to FINALLY topple
the king --the glorious m90 --for sound quality --of the one piece box world--

here is my GUESS-
IF toshiba had put their extreme brilliant tweets from their s90-
to join the DEEP tight bass of the 40 --
yes,yes --they would have had beat the marvelous , spacious ...full range output of the m90-

but --they DIDNT!!! :'-(

so --for the moment
the m90 still has the throne
and by alot !!!

however -- i THINK the tosh 40 bass -- might be a hair deeper and tighter than the m90 bass..
and that says alot
-----------------------------------------------------

but all this comparo - still remains a multi-month guess -
cuz my tosh 40 --is OLD and very used -
and needs caps and serious switch work and cleaning and tuning --

and THANKS to our great members :::: frank and ramon and norm --
this 40 WILL soon get entirely reconditioned --
and prepared for the final m90 comparo

expect the final report in a few months

 

[MONOLITHIC]

You mean to tell me that you scored one a few months ago and didn't tell anybody?!?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Sorry to hear about the tweeters... That still wouldn't stop me from trying to cop one tho.

Besides, that review just gives me even more incentive to get an S90, which'll likely be the last big box I buy!

 

[redbenjoe]

hey mono --
i purposely held this secret for these past few months --
because i am a lifetime//natural show-off
and wanted to be even more popular with my lovely surprise at 'the big meet'


you will LOVE the looks, lights and sounds of the s90 -
and as YOU know --they are sometimes on jap yahoo
and //or henry and peppin can get you one

 

[Radio raheem]

Congrats ira but even litfan once said the m90 was better sounding than the tosh never the less great score and i hope you had a great time at the meet.

 

[Radio raheem]

Btw ira you realy have god on your side unlike me congras again my friend

If things go good, I'll have an S90 between now and summer.

So,... all that said (and even tho you have to get the 40 reconditioned), between the 2 Toshiba's, which would you rather listen to?

 

[redbenjoe]

mono -- at this early moment --i would MUCH prefer to hear my s90-
but mine looks and sounds like brand NEW--

while the 40 is not a beater --but it is old and BEAT !!!

so --its not a fair choice, right now

Here In Hudson Florida today Hemiguy and i we are marveling at the fact that we suckered er eh I mean got Ira to part with this wonderful Toshiba.

We are now pondering how much we should demand in the ransom letter. I was thinking his money or his wife, Frank was thinking only his money...

We would be willing to return said Toshiba to Boynton Beach for 10 $100 unmarked bills..........

[skippy1969]

WOW,congrats Ira on the 40.! It is a real beauty and I hope you get it working 100%. Congrats my friend,you deserve it......

 

[Superduper]

Congratulations........ but.....

It's so rare, I don't even know what it is?
Is it like 4/9th's of an S90?

Redbenjoe's Toshiba BomBeat 40:

 

[Radio raheem]

Redbebjoe diserves the glory here!!!!!!! but by the sounds of it the tosh will never beat an m90 and you also hsve to consider power here

 

[Superduper]

Oooo.. Very Very Pretty. I was wondering what model that was from the 2010 SS mix photos... Now I know.

How about stuffing a pair of M70 Tweeters in it Ira? I think the M90 tweeters might be too big.

 

[MONOLITHIC]

Keep it ALL Toshiba and install S90 tweeters.

But that's only if the reconditioning doesn't take.

 

[Superduper]

Finding an S90 parts box is like trying to spot a salamander wandering the mojave desert. Also, the S90 tweeters are big -- like M90 big. Might have live with the sound and just admire the looks. Very pretty box.

If that's the case, then perhaps the tweeters from this could fit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 767wt_1167

My remote Toshiba has the best tweeters of any box I currently have in my collection. My maroon Hitachi is a very close 2nd.

where all the poor and ignorant folks live
