Confrontation au sommet :Teac V8030 et JVC TDV621 - Le forum Audiovintage Sur ce forum, une personne décrit son expérience
Thanx for information - @ Longman - what means "...outside of Japan " ? @ LIVO - i here have one TEAC 7030S, but it´s not so brilliant - we talked about it here, that this deck is described as one of the most beautiful, otherwise disappointing decks...
JVC = Japan Victor Company A similar situation to the use of National, National Panasonic, and Panasonic brands in different regions as a National Radio was already an established company in the USA. I have just thought of another one. Philips and Norelco. In the 1960s Philips was deemed to be too similar to established American company Philco. At least Sony managed to pick a name that wasn't already in use.
High end decks newer than 1986 were non-existant over here in my local searches. Nakamichi was the exception, they turn up every once in a while. I personally was brain-washed by my neighbor who talked about how great Naks were and I think the buying public felt the same so we never saw high-end decks from other manufacturers. Longman, don't forget TRIO (Japan), Kenwood (USA). JVC/Victor also used Nivco in the early 70's.
Yes that is another example I had forgotten about. In the U.K. they used the Trio name for years because Kenwood is the brand name of a popular range of food mixers invented by Mr Kenneth Wood. https://www.currys.co.uk/products/k...stand-mixer-with-blender-silver-10195143.html When they eventually got permission to share the name their announcement was something like "We would rather be associated with quality kitchen appliances than chocolate bars" since the Trio name was also used on those.
Proving it wasn't my imagination https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126192582743 Trio / Kenwood were and are one of the three most famous Japanese names in Ham Radio gear. My first rig was a Trio TR-2200. I probably saw the news of the name change in a Ham radio magazine.
I have a Kenwood KX-54 that I bought from a summer’s fruit picking wages in the mid 80s. Kenwood branding on the front, still Trio on the rear panel. It’s at my Mum’s, so no pic just now, but here’s a stock shot…
I can't see the model in this link. Therefore I can't comment unless you can post a picture then I can tell you about it
