Jens...that Tobisony...is it some sort of mutant Toshiba and Sony together?!?!

yes must be so....

You know Jens, that trademark for "asian brown goods" note...too easy...I'll leave that for others to think about.

I'm not quite sure what to make of the Vinix, it's ugly cool if that's possible.

it's like a pug dog's face, it's so ugly it's cool

with jared who agrees with appleknocker --

and will ad that its only ugly from close up , from far away --
and from every angle !!

.....but , somehow - its a KEEPER

"SWEEEET"

What?!?! The "Asian brown goods"?!?!?

In my opinion, the last two you have pictured (the ones with the square speaker grills) look better than the first two. Actually the last two look rather nice. The first two truely are ugly. I think it has to do with the rounded speakers and the shape of the cassette door in such a "small" box.

good research there James -- my vinix is the second one

What is So Special and or Different about these vinix bbox's as James here recently started looking for above ...

james -you can SEE how different they are --and for better or worse -- the designers made a strong effort to make sure they did not appear to be just copies of every other box --

and on a less serious note --they are the SHINIEST boxes -- ever

true.


the first two have got "normal eye shape speaker coverings"

the other seem to have insectoid ones...?!

VINIX VPC 6704 round 21e6_1 (redbenjoe has this one)
so this one is more desirable ... huh ?

VINIX 6714 square 51d5_1

nope james - i think they are saying that my model is the less desirable -
but still -- mine is more shiny!
