I am very happy, today the postman delivered my 3. BB.

A Philips D8543 (it is almost the one i had with age 12 and doing my first recordings ).

It works perfect . Radio,Tape,Line in & out.

Ok its just another BB, BUT THIS ONE SOUNDS GREAT !!!!!!

As soon as i get my Cam back i will post pictures and make a video.

Happy Ghettoblasting all & let the music play .

The next boomboxcollector in Austria is coming up!
My hounting grounds are in danger....

So today i got my Videocam back and here are some pictures of this great sounding Unit

I try to do a video with good soundquality sooner or later .

Brother in boomboxing!
Found this one in summer:



Does yours work perfect?
I have problems with tuning.
Sometimes the station fades away.
I don´t know why.

Yes i am lucky mine works perfect , and i have no problem picking up any Austrian Radio Station.

Does this tunnig fade away happen when you are moveing with your Compo ?

No, when it´s standing.
But only sometimes.
I´m afraid i must take a short look inside next time.

Got PM!

Ok here is the video .

I hope you can hear how clear this Philips sounds.

I am still testing on mic distance and volume level but its not bad i think.

A bass test video will follow .

Please watch in HQ , the sound is much better , enjoy and tell me , isn´t "She" sounding great .

i saw quite a lot of these poppin in on ebay and now i think i might have a try at the next one.like the clear sound!

I've got a boxed one of these and while they are not high end the sound is surprisingly good,lacking in bass but a nice sound

Hello Roman, same thing is happen with my JVC mono.
After a good cleaning the radio/tape switch, everything its ok now.
Check that switcher, I hope that this will help.


Hi börny, that's a fantastic box.
Congrats.

Thanks, toni!
I will do so next time.
But i think it needs an fully check.
After seeing Börny´s, i recognised that the colour of my speakers is very weak.
Maybe off the sunlight?
I will colour it new in black.

And right, the sound is fantastic.
Philips Spatial Stereo forever!

Cool box! I have one in minty condition and love the logic deck in it.

Yes, and i think the "bicolour" model is nicer than this one:

As well the technic inside must be the same...

Thank you all for the comments, yes i enjoy this Compo very much .

The Tape deck sounds very good (in my ears )and the soft touch buttons work great.

@ViennaSound , poor Compo :-(.

And to all the other D8534 owners , unpack it and let it do its thing .

I am rendering the bass test video right now and then going to upload it .

It is incredible how low it can go .

Here you go and hopefully low .

Yes, sounds very well.
(As it could sound over the tube )
I think i must pull mine out of the storage and make noise...

Yes, the D8534's bass is at 60hz, lower than the more common 100hz. It's one of those boxes where you can turn the treble and midrange off, have the bass full on, whack the volume right up and it won't distort... it'll just pump harder.

I knew my ear´s dont cheat me .

How many known BB´s are out there that can go this low , 60hz is amazing .

YouTube now supports 16:9 HD video with stereosound , so i did a HD version of the Basstest video.
Now its sounds almost good over YouTube.

For the best quality please switch "watch in HD" above view count !

@Börny: PHILIPS D8234 on the way to Steyr!
Must get it tomorrow or thursday!

Thank you , as soon as it arrives i will pic and vid it . .
