I know the older JVCs kicked a$$ an sounded great!!!!!!!!!!!!
JVC had a nitch. Real nice fine sounding quality units that just lasted forever. Still using a JVC 1985 boombox that sounds super great. Got it in Japan. I use it 'every day' in the garage now which is really very hot with maximum humidity (SW Fla)! Drug that boombox all over the world for mega-years, since 1985, and it's taken some hard hits, that's for sure, it's dented up, and it just keeps crankin out great sound. Even the CD player still works. It's a bit chosey now with 'some CDs' but most work perfect 98% of the time, like me! haha. It's been a wonderful friend!!
And it sounds great! Real and life-like. It's unreal really. It sounds ' real '. Super Great sound. It's pretty darn perfect really.
It's a wonderful friend who 'never let me down'. It sure can take a beating, that's for sure!! And it's always comes up smiling!
** Maybe it just likes constant traveling??!! ** :>)
Well, it's semi-retired to the garage now, with me, in retirement!! AND IT 'STILL WORKS' AND SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya can't beat that! Hat's off to JVC for such a fine sounding and reliable product!!
