We had a Sharp tube TV that lasted for 17 years before my Dad upgraded to a flat screen...the stuff the Japanese made back in the 1980s to the mid 2000s were very nice quality. Then the Chinese took over and ruined everything.

well said, hi-fi systems from late 1980's to 2000's made by japanese/dutch/south koreans sound musical and last upto 30-35 years if used properly. Speaker systems started sounding like crap as soon as they were powered by chynese ICs.

Listen up commenters, This is a 1980s Ghetto Blaster recorded on a Digital computer and then sent to KZfaq, you are now hearing it through your own computers, phones or wherever. You cannot possibly judge the sound quality of something in a KZfaq video, you need to be in the actual room it's being used in. A phone or P.C mic badly positioned can cause all kind of Acoustic issues with the sound.

@@fender1000100 Let's be real, boomboxes were never designed to be hifi components. They sound "OK" and have good output for a portable device. The engineering on the speaker drivers and cabinets at this time also was very limited compared to the long throw drivers and efficient digital amps in todays portable speakers. You could get a lot more output and bass for the size.

You are right. 1981 to 1987 was the GOLDEN ERA of BOOMBOXES. It went downhill after that.
if the sound is too muffled on tape, a head realignment is the last thing to do, if the heads are still factory aligned. It is adviseable to clean all heads as good as possible and demagnetise them eventually. Absolutely fine portable radio, though

It might be the cassette tape itself. If it was recorded 2-3 decades ago and it wasn't stored in dry and temperature controlled areas, it will decline in quality. None of mine sound as good as they did when they were new.
@McLarenMercedes4 жыл бұрын
@@80s_Boombox_Collector I'd say the quality of the tape itself is a factor too. I purchased expensive Chrome(type II) and Metal(type IV) cassette tapes when I was a kid (I read audio reviews as a 12 year old) and recently listened to the recordings (they were off CD's) I made somewhere around 1993 or so. My jaw dropped because the sound was better than the streaming music I played through my smartphone.
