Hello everyone, i know that 90s boxes are given not too much love here as most of them were ugly eggs, but this week i managed to get one really good 90s box in my hold- Panasonic RX-ES30.
It probably came out with Panasonic RX-ED77 The Cobra and they are bit similar from here and there, but this one was the first of those Panasonic RX-ES "Wedge" series. It´s slightly smaller than Cobra, but sounds also really good and powerful and it´s bass is just excellent, sound is one of the best i´ve heard so far, from 90s boxes i´ve heard this will be placed on 2nd place, after the Cobra, i can´t tell the sound difference, but Cobra does have bigger drivers and bigger output power as well.
Today i managed to clean it too, It was just really dusty, speakers were literally covered with a thick carpet of dust that was really hard to get cleaned off, but i managed to do it somehow, opened it up as well and cleaned it internally, all vent holes were just blocked with dust. I highly recommend having this box, one really cool feature it has is that it has also remote compatibility and you have so many options on the remote control. Deck of course is full logic controlled. Few minuses are that the CD tray is opened mechanically, so you push the button and then spring loaded mechanism slides the tray open, but that´s reasonable as it was one of the first ones from Sledge series. Here is also a picture of the actual piece.
Along with this piece i also have 2 more 90s boxes that are fairly good: Sony CFD-V20 & Aiwa CSD-ED37.

Cobra tops and all this RX-DT/ED/ES range is the best you can choose from.
