Yes they would. But having an EQ with the controls netting out at zero is the important thing. Find the curve/shape that sounds best to you but +/_ them to equal zero. My Soundcraftsmen PE 2217R has test lights to let you know when the gain is to high or low and separate controls to balance it out. Most EQ's do not have that, but if you follow that rule your gain will be happy. Then the volume to increase level. Not the best thing to have both EQ and Bass/Treble really. Overly redundant.

I own a Yorx boombox and I'm ashamed to admit it. If the build quality is similar to it....drop it off the closet pier and watch the fish avoid it on the way down.

Looks good, but working on it is like polishing a turd. Save you time for something of quality Joe...trust me

I just got one too (for cheap, $5) . Heavy little sucker, weighs as much as my JVC 656 but oh my god it sounds like crap.! Speaker swap perhaps?

So Brutus, you live next to a very big lake . . . . . . . . ? Slather it in bacon grease and hope for a Muskie to come by ! :w00t:

That's what I was thinking.. 80% seems like too much BASS for those small speakers..
I keep the BASS at half on all my boxes, sounds a lot cleaner that way..

Back in those days 20 Watts rocked the house. 5 Watts per channel was a wow!
If the sound is clean and crisp then it is good!

Honestly it is perfect sound for the office. Rich bass and clear treble. We don't need to crank it so this will work great. Listening now.

Looks like the AUX is not a proper line-in. I'll bring my attenuator in and then we can really jam if we want to.


I checked epay for similar setups with the built in clock/alarm and some are hitting $100+ with less features than this one has.


So basically I have a big ass alarm clock here ahhahahaha. The body of the Yorx takes up the same space as (4) Fisher 492 center sections eeeek.

Yep, was just looking on eBay at these as well. Certainly worth more that what the dumpster is offering! :-D

Do the decks and turntable work?

The cassette works but playback is fast. No record player on this hog and I don't have a 8-track to test it. Everything else works perfect.
