arkay - 2008-07-18 11:26

Yeah, Henry -- a 535 "counts", for sure! Looks every bit as gorgeous as a regular 9000. Welcome to the club. I know you've been wanting one for a while - congratulations!

Say, it took Rambo Estrada a few years to get his... you were faster! The Japanese "connection" pays off! Big Grin

henrytai - 2008-07-18 11:49

yeah you're right arkay~
i love it~!!

beatbox - 2008-07-18 11:55

Welcome welcome welcome!!!!!

I love these machines!

kid.sensation - 2008-07-18 12:00

congrats henry!

I allways wondered if they really sound that bad like some ppl say.
Well after hearing member AK74's 9000, who visited me once i only can agree with you!

These machines do not only look good, they also do sound very good Smile

awesome find Wink

fatdog - 2008-07-18 12:00

Those are the best looking VU's of any boombox... ever! Cool

sinister - 2008-07-18 12:03

i want 1 !!!! Big Grin

kid.sensation - 2008-07-18 12:16

stunning,beautiful...congrats on this nice find henry!

I know the sound of these from member AK74 as he once visited me with his.They sure thump!
After hearing one i never understood the people who told that it has very disappointing sound.
I kinda liked the sound very well.

And of course the look is

masterblaster84 - 2008-07-18 12:18

Not a bad club to be in Henry, the 9000 is a nice looking box with possibly the best VU's ever put in a box.

I'm still looking for my membership to that club, someday maybe! Smile

- 2008-07-18 12:28

Nice looks shame about the sound, they sound horrid Frown

eddy - 2008-07-18 12:49

Welcome to to best club ever.
My 9000 sounds very good Tim.

- 2008-07-18 12:52

does it realy eddy i bet its not a patch on the m90 or 777 bud.

eddy - 2008-07-18 13:00

True Tim , the 9000 is no match for the ultimate two (M90 and 777)

retro.addict - 2008-07-19 03:34

Nice box, Henry! Big Grin I love the looks. I see yours is in great condition, like mine! Cool

I Agree Mine sounds rubbish too. Frown The lack of bass is almost embarrassing - I won't take it to places where people expect it to sound as deep as thunder, because it most certainly does NOT. For it's looks, it should sound 3 times better than it does. Nod Yes

ak74 - 2008-07-19 04:15

Welcome to the club, great find! Wink

um.....it's no game with the legends M90 and 777
but mine sounds much(40%?)deeper than the M70
maybe the old stuff like these need some restoration?<----hope i didn't spell anything wrong~ Razz
it's not a crap sounding bbx, even it does....it's still a stunning look bbx~!!
mine does hv a dent on the speaker grill but everything else work 100%
who still not own one should grap it if you see it in wild~!!you'll proud of it~!!for sure~!! Cool

moncheeto - 2008-07-19 13:03

daiwa - 2008-07-19 19:45

Nice score Henry! Beautiful. I agree with FDog, a monster in looks and sound. Are you sure yours is plugged in Rim?

r.o.y.a.l - 2008-07-19 21:56

masterblaster - 2008-07-19 22:47

Ey Tim , you have to put 10 D's in that thing. Not just two Roll Eyes

henrytai - 2008-07-20 08:19

geoffhartwell - 2008-07-20 08:21

henrytai - 2008-07-20 08:31

"wow that's really old school~!!"
"OMG~!! how can he find it~!?those radio are rare~"
"......" <-----just can't take thier eyes off

vladi123456 - 2008-07-20 08:44

That is funny about the beach - some people probably wished they still had theirs Big Grin

henrytai - 2008-07-20 08:46

it's hard to hv one at mid west america, right?

jvc - 2008-07-20 09:23

Hi. true,i have one.Good looking,poor sound. I did not expect to sound so bad. maybe with better woofers will gain more bass...
I keep mine just for looks...

Laugh Out Loud Mine sounds crap too. I think the ones you have (with the black woofers) must sound really good, but the ones we have here (with the white woofers) sound crap. Frown We're deprived. Big Grin

Fuzzyduck, what colour woofers does yours have? Are they white woofers? Is it a GF-9000 E?

- 2008-07-21 10:19

no offence its just daiwa has never heard an m90 or 777 i have had 2 9000 and they were both as crap as each other Nod Yes Leaving

retro.addict - 2008-07-21 10:33

I don't think Daiwa will take offence rimmer. His black woofered version probably sounds so good that can't believe one could sound crap. Smile He has to listen to one of ours. Nod Yes Very disappointing. Frown

- 2008-07-21 11:07

ey up retro i have a feeling diawa has a modded gf9000 as i have never seen another like his, so it probbly sounds good Nod Yes.

Mine has white woofers and is an E model.
The black woofers do look a lot sexier though! Nod Yes

henrytai - 2008-07-21 13:12

HeeHee~!! I think mine is cool enough to be the top of my list just below the GF-1000~!!
look, size, sounds does matter~
GF-9000 big enough, looks hottest and sounds good~!!
R.A.~ yours does look even better~ so treat it as an eye candy~ Big Grin becoz i think you have some good sounding Hitachi to feed your ears~~ Laugh Out Loud

The gf1000 totally oblitorates the gf9000 a total different ball game, good luck on your quest henry. Smile

I beg to disagree on this one, Fuzzyduck. Smile I think the white woofers look awesome on this model. Cool

Me too. Nod Yes It's just here to be looked at. And played... one every blue moon. The lacklustre sound just doesn't 'do it' for me. Frown

henrytai - 2008-07-22 10:25

Big Grin

eddy - 2008-07-22 12:41

henrytai - 2008-07-22 14:03

NO, it's just a small radio i think~ Laugh Out Loud
