to all the folks of boombox land
right, whats youre favourite brand, and why?
mine is sharp. i chose sharp because they are so well made and long lasting. i own three gf's-a 450,525,and 9090, and theyre all bullet-proof.
and whenever im looking for new specimens, its always sharp units that i find. almost like they hunt me out! this i dont mind. i aim to add a gf575,9000,9797 and 8989 to my collection in the near future. i also love the look of those earlier gf,s too.
so, whos next- whats your fave,and why??????

Although I've answered this question before, I don't mind answering it again.

My favorite brand has always been Pioneer's SK-95 Series!!! It was very advanced for it's time when it came out, plus, it's a Cool Lookin' Box anyway!!!

'NUFF SAID

National Panasonic, definitely.

I was grown up with my RF (on the avatar), and I am stunned by his endurance and quality.
This brand has produced a very unique, significant and long-term models as is the 5100, 5700, 7000 serie and many oters recent model.

Crown -- the best lookers
Panasonic -- the best engineered
Telefunken -- the best sounding

Gotta agree with andy v

Of all my boomers, my 9090 is my fav, no doubt about it, although the 777 comes close.
Panasonics are a close second, and I've heard so much about the Telefunken Studio 1M that I hope to one day have the opportunity to let it prove itself...

Ha ha ha ha agent you loon..have you refoamed that bloody pc5 yet ?
my first fave box is the GF9500 because it was my first propper box i got that was bran new..




second fave is my GF8989 because i had one of these in the 80s aswell,and i`ve always like the looks and sound..


another fave is Philips D8734,because in the 80s i used to carry one of these every where,had lots of fun but it ate battery`s..


and also i always like the GF990 because i saw one in a second hand shop in 1984,it was up for £120,i could`nt afford it,but my mate bought it..

Sharp..... Sharp, Sharp, Sharp Sharp!

Cannot beat that GF look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Gettoman..... Where did you get the GF9500????

Is that the original that you "Originally Bought" in the pic????

Hi Bredgeo,no unfortunatley it is`nt the origonal one i got new,that one only survived a year..
this one i`ve had a few years,i got it from hugo driptip in about 2004,she`s a beauty,it is definately one of my all time top favorites..i dont think there is many around,i think i`ve only ever seen one on ebay in years...if you like sharp,you should look out for one,you will love it,the sound is amaizing,loud and clear..

Yeah, yeah.... No, I had one but sold it... That is why the question 'cause I cannot remember who I sold it to. I thought it might have been you. It is a three piece, right?

I know the sound quality was/is great! I just have (since the get go) imposed myself boxes and not three pieces, that is the only reason why I sold it. So it was not you.

Well, keep that baby rockin'!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sharp-well known for its GF- and VZ- series, interesting designs and good sounding boomboxes
Sony-for excellent build quality and brand reuptation.
Akai-not as well-known as others, but did make some interesting boxes (like the AJ-R205).

the one and only PHILIPS
Also aka HORNYPHON

I worked at the service center there.
Love the SPATIAL STEREO.
And the many different types...

Sharp of course, mainly for their great looks!
