Due to the space limitations I am able to have only one Stereo on display at once whilst others are stashed away, my little kids also prevents me from having many boxes scattering around. I had a Panny Cobra RX-DT909 on display for a few last months now I decided to give her a rest and grabbed my JDM Panasonic RX-PA7 Riddim Vox, not a box actually but I do like this powerful machine. Need to warm Riddim up a bit. BTW, Kenwood GE-77E, a 14 bands per channel graphic equalizer, almost always keeps its place, thanks to the spectrum analyser for display purposes, also serving as a good stand. I don't think I am the only one with space limitation issues, what's about you, guys, do you also need to rotate your favourites? Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics though.
It's tough only being able to have one stereo out at once...would be so tough to choose and I'd be changing it ever couple of days
Already forgot how the Panny booms, now having a chance to recall that Riddim plays old good rock quite well, even at the low volume.. Tho I am not that dude on the pic.
What a rugged looking unit. Very nice. Given it's rugged exterior I have to ask how is the anti skip technology on the CD?
Aha, it's ragged since IMO this Panny is intended for rather outdoor use as a karaoke/Disco machine, guitar combo, etc. Apart from CD, radio and 2 tape decks it has 3 inputs: for a mic, guitars, a keyboard and headphones, plus mixing knob. As for efficiency of anti skip technology on the CD I don't know yet, had no chance for a real test. Banging on a table where Riddim rests makes no effect on the CD play. Ah yes, I wouldn't call the Riddim a boombox - it has no battery power, no handle, power consumption is high enough - 58 Watts, Vox is a pretty heavy, compressed wood cabinet with 2-way acoustics and 2 bass reflex ports -11.5 kg. It's a pity though that it was only the JDM model in the end of 90s.
Have to say that's not a boombox as it dosen't have a handle but they look great, one thing i didn't know it has cassette so thats a big plus point in my book, what's the output power ehh MT, the rating on the back means nothing btw
Yeah, not a BBX, RR, no.. having neither handle nor batteries on board. Tapes? Aha, 2 tape decks. As for output power, well, for my room it's quite enough. The specs read as follows for each pair of speakers: But that's the EIAJ standard , an internal Japanese one, Maximum EIAJ standard test output power: average of RMS output voltage squared divided by load impedance. Test signal 1kHz tone burst 8 cycles 0dB, 24 cycles no signal, THD 1%. I'd estimate it as approx. 7-8 Watts per channel RMS, roughly, maybe a bit more. BTW, with a help of my friends now I know from the serial # that my Riddim was manufactured in 1999, pretty new if compared with radios, boxes from 70-80s....
This box is awesome. The specs say 2x15W for the woofers and 2x12.5W for the mids/tweeters? Is that right? By the way, I'm pretty sure EIAJ watts are close to RMS, because whenever I see EIAJ watts on Japanese brochures, like Sharp and Aiwa, it is close to the American RMS data. So I'm pretty sure it's a lot more than 7-8 watts per channel.
Space is always a concern, especially with the big boxes. I'd love to check out one of these in person, they look practical for a office or garage system. I'm building some shelving as we speak to put up some more mini's and Walkmans on display.
