You know what guys; I got one of these in December and though I have looked at it a lot, and it's a big and good sounding box I can't help thinking that I hate the colours behind the VU meters! It just looks like a cheap Chinese rip off. Tacky, even.
Each to thier own......

While on this subject, my Bass control slider does nothing. Are they known for packing up?

i back dave all the way on that one....
anyone that has one of these boxes bin the drivers and upgrade,the standard speakers are not up to the job! this box has so much more to give but the drivers let it down massively
iv got a moded one that sounds the nuts and had standard ones that won't even come near to touching it on sound quality and volume
as for the vu's....well that's what made me get one!

I tend to play jazz so the speakers dont pose a problem to me

These tick the VU criteria for me
Oh hell yea !!!

Elegance. That's what it comes down to Dave, lovely. This is, in my opinion, the only thing wrong with the Aiwa CS880. The VU meters have red needles against a dark background and are almost invisible most of the time! Telefunken and Panasonic know how to do it right too but those Tosh meters are sublime.
BTW, talking of Tosh, just bought one of my old faves from my teens; Tosh RT120S in lovely condition, fully working for the princely sum of £2.40!

eine sehr schöne boombox aber der klang hat mich nicht überzeugt der ist nicht so gut sehr wenig bässe und hoher klirr faktor
a very nice boombox but the sound which has not convinced me is not so good
very little bass and high THD factor
