What are you top 10 "Grails"?

[Gluecifer]

Ira: the Nippon's the Bolt box!

Holly: I LOVE my M70, but with only 10 places it got pushed out. I could've added another 20 I love and count as holy grails, but I wanted to try and stick to the rules. A DiscoLite sounds nowhere near as good as an M70, but when you have it going it doesn't matter one iota.

If a DiscoLite sounded as good as it looked it'd make an M90 seem like a Coby by comparison.

My list was mostly filled by my Ghetto Wishes text file I made four years ago when I first discovered Stereo2Go and began compiling all the boxes I wanted and has become the blueprint to my collection.



Rock On.

HE HE! Sorry to give you a hard time... I think I'm getting a little momma-bearish to my M70... Maybe I need to see a specialist! HA HA!

I totally agree with Glu , the JVC M70 is a great grail bbx.. I would say it's probably the most well known and owned collectors box. But It's not rare so it's a grail for you because you have wanted one for so long but for me it was easy getting mine for $130 on eBay real clean. With some cleaning , deoxiting switches and pots plus getting rebuilt sliders from Norm , rebelting and adjusting and a strap from Blu made it 100% perfect they are all over eBay everyday unlike some of the others like the Sanyo Big Ben which may come up twice a year at auction believe me though I would not trade nor sell my M70 for nothing because it's a beautiful machine

[Pointdexter1906]

I get on these kicks... For a while, I was on a Rising 20 20 kick, then it was the Hitachi TRK something or other, so I get on these kicks and I loose interest, but if the box stays in my mind for longer than a few weeks, I know it is an eventual must-have.

"8 is enough."

Posting for Monolithic:

Sorry, I MEANT 9 is enough...

I did this in my sleep and forgot to mention the M70. My apologies, folks...

M70=awesome box
It is very classic but maybe too "normal/stereotype" for some of the members here. I also love my minty M70 but to my shame I have to say i rather hook up my Lasonic 975, GF777 or VZ2000/2500...somehow they are more appealing sometimes. I use my M70 for listening to audio books though It has the cleanest sound I can think of...best heights. I have heard a M90 in Dessau when I met up with Blasterpunk and I have decided I will NEED that one.
But you can hear and see that the M70 is the M90s little brother and with a little skilled adjustment you can also make the M70 sound close to a poorly adjusted M90

 

[-GZ-]

Im gonna have to agree with ira on this one. I just can't do it.
had a list going....then there were like 6 boxes that slipped my mind.
impossible to make a top 10 list.
I will say the M90 is the goat.
the sanyo mx920 is the most beautiful box I will never own
Toshiba s90 and bom 40 are super ill
GF 767/777/999/1000 are must haves
GF 9191-9797 is an incredible line
c100 is everything you heard about it
sanyo m9990 and m9994 are ill
Rising 20/20 = ill
Crown 850/950 = ill
All the Lasonics are ill......I wasn't a believer til I got my 935. Build quality might not be there but the sound sure the hell is
and of course the m70 is one hell of a little powerhouse.......
and can't forget about those gorgeous aiwas
