How many boomers can we list that have super anrs /dolby c??? wich imho was highly advanced for the ghettoblaster...

jvc m90/anrs/super anrs

jvc pc55 dolby b/c

sharp gx300 dolby b/c

Im not shure how many there are but ther's a start...I wonder how many there are especially with dolby/c...

I have some nice Sony FH/CFS models but just standard Dolby there.

Didn't realize the Sharp deck was so advanced...until now I thought it was just JVC!

Sorry for the late reply fins5 the gf300 is an underated box...mine is long gone like most of them but i recommend getting if you can...

More boxes with anrs super anrs

Jvc pc 11

jvc pc5

but on those 2 I dont quite see the point as there are no tweeters to benifit from it...

Fines5 alot of the sony fh series have dolby c on them..all the high end ones do...

What I find amazing there are quite an exstencive range of walkmans with dolby c but they diddn't start apearing till the 90's

The jvc pc55 came out in 83 and cost around £350 £400..

I diddn't realize till last night how much that was..but in about 91 I was only earning £150 a week...so £400 in 83 WOW but heck it was worth every penny since most of them are still working some 30 yrs later..

Couldn't agree more Radio Raheem. A solid unit all around.

Another question if I may (excuse this if it's drifting off topic) did any portable units come with DBX? A basic search turned up nothing but I do remember some walkman's in that era had it. I was wondering if it ever migrated to boomboxes?

Excuse my ignorance but what is DBX I have heard of it but im not shure what it is...

Hi Radio Raheem,



It was a semi popular alternative to Dolby back in the 80's and early 90's. I think in some regards it was a more cost effective choice compared with the Dolby licensing.

There were quite a few home decks that offered this either in tandem with Dolby or exclusively without. I was unsure if it had worked it's way into mainstream boomboxes at the time..

Thanks brutas i thought it ma of had something to do with the radio side of things...but now i know...another dolby i havn't heard is dolby s

Only time I use Dolby is for classical music to reduce the hiss during quiet passages.  For all other music it just takes away too much treble.

Yes you right reli...i never use dolby now...apart from my m90...i mod the dolby in such a way that when i use it..it boosts the treble...the whole dolby thing for me was (especially back in the day) a sighn of pure quality..especially with the high end dolby systems...dolby b never realy bothered me.. But having said that even if a radio diddn't have dolby b, back in the day i wouldn't buy it lol..
