Playing some psytrance, Schizoid internet radio from pc, hooked up to 3 boxes, uploading a short clip right now, shot with Nokia 808 (with the great "Nokia rich recording"). Video after the break...

Maybe not everyones cup of tea, this music...

EDIT: Have to do some more recordings with the awesome sound quality the Nokia delivers.

EDIT2: Now blasting one more boomer! 3D80, GF-700, D8634 AND D8444 (with the line in ALC disabled!)

I sometimes forget how good the box that gave me my forum handle sounds. OK, so I should be wearing a DJ when I'm listening to it and it should be blasting some Bach or similar while pleasant young maidens serve exotic fruit to me on a spoon but then I heard Yazz (& her plastic population) playing on BBC R2 and had to grab the crappy phone cam, which failed to save the clip properly - a shame as it did actually capture the unexpectedly solid bass that the slim Danish Hitachi kicks out from its free edge, full range drivers that are mounted assymetrically in typically nuts B&O fashion because that's how they can port them properly and still fit the tape transport into the same slim space.
So, one download from smp3 later and although the quality isn't as good thanks to a poor bitrate and the level being lower than I could have set it on the line inputs, this is the set at work and a pic with the frets off, showing the oddly placed speakers:

To anyone who hasn't owned one of these amazing things I says buy one now! They're pretty heavy so not ideal as a walking around box but with such solid bass from such a slim cabinet and build quality that Hitachi, who supplied the components of the deck, can only dream of matching, you need a BS10!

Sitting with my brother in the park, something to eat, something to drink and the sun goes down over my GF 777, it couldn't be better.

Listening to the warm sticky bun sound of the M-X720 and giving it a chance to hang with some relatives.

Is it sunny at the lakes today? I've got to take a trip up that way before summer's end.
It's cloudy here in MA, but that's not stopping me from taking the C-100 out to stretch it's legs.
I'll post pics a little later.

Since today is International Boombox Day (where I am anyway) I thought I would reach a little deeper into the collection and use a radio that didn't get much use.

I dug out my Fisher
