It’s OK on some shop bought tapes but terrible with anything recorded at home on any player.

I did make a few adjustments, azimuth etc., after I got it which helped, but it sounds different with every tape you put in it. Doesn’t self-stop on rewind or fast forward either which is beyond irritating. Looks great but it ain’t.

My decades old Sony WMD3 smashes it hundredfold.

Looks like a boombox designed by someone who never had a boombox.

My last one. Philips D8634, complete with phono stage and wooden detachable speakers, if memory serves me right it was £179.99 in 1985’ ish.

Well other than the Sony party speaker / dock in the cabin with the light array behind the speaker cones.

A Muso with a handle?

No one likes the look of it. I am alone. This thing can record , so you can have a portable music source for holidays, with your favourite albums. No need Wifi or Ethernet.

I like the looks - it has a simple, functional look and who can resist such a prominent pair of needle meters?

A Panasonic “Boombox” was my gateway into getting into hifi proper, so I’m all for it.

It was the obligatory millennial tatted arm that prevented me from liking it.

And that all this new retro stuff is a re-creation and somehow always misses the point IMO, much cooler to restore originals.

I believe it comes with a free Bic Pen for manual rewinding.
