Oook<p>I am about to receive an old Philips D8623 ghettoblaster/boombox (almost exact same model as D8614, and also sold under the Magnavox and Radiola brands). You know one of this early 80's classic looking ones made of brushed metal. This one will need to be restored (I already ordered replacement belts and plastic gears for the cassette deck) but is a great choice because it has an Aux In. So even if the cassette deck and radio aren't functionnal it could still serve as bluetooth speaker with an adapter. I am wondering if it would be sacrilege to paint the speaker covers in a very bright blue, green or yellow neon color to differenciate it from others. I mean I like the original look with black speaker over brushed metal but it is a very common model and there are so many of them like it already...</p><p>Also, it would be a totally reversible change as I could still scrub back the paint and repaint them black anytime.</p><p><a href="https://im-in.space/tags/boombox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boombox</span></a> <a href="https://im-in.space/tags/ghettoblaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ghettoblaster</span></a> <a href="https://im-in.space/tags/vintagehifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintagehifi</span></a> <a href="https://im-in.space/tags/vintagehighfi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintagehighfi</span></a> <a href="https://im-in.space/tags/philips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philips</span></a> <a href="https://im-in.space/tags/cassette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cassette</span></a></p>

Massive plastic and metal cases with one or two cassette decks, huge main speakers, tweeters, and a handle. They'd take 8 or 10 D size batteries. They were loud. They were a presence.</p><p>Well, I've been rocking the tiny little Soundcore Select 4s (two, as a wireless stereo pair) and honestly as my memory serves, they sound</p><p>a) better<br>b) clearer<br>c) more bass-y<br>d) louder</p><p>than any boombox I remember from my youth. And they last longer too. IIRC, those JVC and Technics boomboxes of the 1980s would last 5-7 hours cranking away at mid volume. The Soundcores claim a 20hr life at 40% volume. And there's no consumables to chew through. I've had them go a full 12 hours between charges, and much louder at times (when I'm working my office I place them strategically and blast away the music.</p><p>And then just think about the size and convenience difference. These speakers weigh 250g each (a pound of weight for the pair), are completely waterproof, can be placed 25 feet apart or more and still work in stereo unison. And the music selection is just limited by what music service you use.</p><p>And the sound. These sound INCREDIBLE for what they are. I'm sure audiophiles will contest this, but to my ear, they are some of the best sounding speakers I currently own (the Google Nest Audio Speaker pair I have in our small Nook Snug space in the house sound better). </p><p>So basically, in 2024, for the weight of maybe 650g (including your phone, which is less than the weight of just the D cells in that old boombox), a cost of $44 (not including your phone), you get something that IMO blows away any 1980s boombox in terms of audio quality and at least as my own memory serves, in terms of loudness. And everything's wireless. And waterproof. </p><p>Anyway, just a weird late Sunday off topic talk. I love the tech advancements we've enjoyed over the last 20, 30+ years. This is one that perhaps some people don't think about or realise much.</p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/audio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audio</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/boombox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boombox</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/speakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>speakers</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/1980s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1980s</span></a></p>
