Listening to Cool Jazz from radio tuner on IPhone via my VZ3500 hooked up to MK Speakers. 
It sounds like a $8000 music system.
The beauty is low power consumption and beautiful sound.
The big recievers I have drink lots of juice.
As I get older I am now stuck with Jazz!

28Watts per channel (Total 56Watts) from the VZ3500 gives very nice high quality clean sound with warm bass.
VZ3500 is the most powerful unit in the VZ family!
At low volume one can feel the nice warm bass and clean high notes.
You will be pleasantly surprised by the music quality if you hook it up to nice speakers.
VZ3500 is so easy to work on unlike VZ2500 and VZ2000. Four screws will remove the record section out. Six long screws or so is holding the chassis to the frame. It is fun to work on it also. VZ2000 is a bear to work on unless one has experience with it.
Only problem is we cannot call VZ3500 a boombox...

I have never seen a 3500 in person. I have the 2000 and have worked on them allot. They aren't bad when you learn how, but still a breast with allot of steps! Thankfully we have the tear down manual that someone took the time to make or I would be F#$%^T.BoomboxLover48 said:Yes Chris!

Hah, you're right Gordie!-GZ- said:
I'm in season three; two more to go (again) - spacing it out this time. So many great characters: Bubbles of course, Omar is badass, Gregs is sexy, and McNulty - he's the thread. I chose that clip after Andre Royo told me that he did a scene with a boombox and "It Takes Two." I searched for it and it's in season 1 episode 3. I've logged several more boomboxes (mostly post-Kaboom) and am preparing a post.
Go!

Maybe slightly O/T, for which I apologise up front, but for anyone who's into The Wire (or Luther for his fellow Brits) Idris Elba presented a 2 part documentary on BBC2 over the festive season. "Idris Elba: King of speed" shows East London's famous son in a completely new light as he reveals his past and the way he came to love fast cars. Starting out as a tyre and exhaust man when he left school, then working at the Ford plant in Dagenham, he started out with a Fiesta XR2 and from there, became obsessed with his cars and the whole fast driving thing.
In the first part, which I had recorded and have just watched back, he travels to the USA and sees the inside of the pits during a NASCAR meet, he drives an old flathead Ford that was used during prohibition to transport illegal booze and he meets a Detroit police inspector who takes him on a tour of the old car plants in a new Jaguar! We also see Idris meeting with the illegal street racers, looking at the traditional lowriders with their trick hydraulic suspension and in part two - which I'm about to watch - he travels to Europe and back to the UK where he will try rallying among other fun things.
The guy is just such an engaging human being that any fears about his being a miserable soul like his Detective Inspector Luther character soon vanish and his obvious and very real joy at being around fellow car people comes through and really does make for an uplifting bit of TV.
By way of justifying that post, I was watching the show on my large HD laptop and the sound was provided by the 1/8" to 5 pin DIN lead hooked up to the Hacker RPC1, whose large oval speaker and solid wooden cabinet did justice to the sound of that old flathead Ford Coupé. Then, for the street race sound, stereo was essential, so out with the LineX fm transmitter and the Technics SAC05L on one side of the room to do the rumbling stuff with the B&O immediately behind the screen for the speech and the detail. Pure joy!
If you can get this show from the iplayer outside of the UK and you've enjoyed the man's performance in The Wire, then download and watch it. Had the UK's current favourite actor not just portrayed Mandela on the big screen and gone global overnight I reckon he should have been brought into Top Gear and given a presenting job on there, preferably that currently occupied by Richard Hammond.
