Apologies if you’ve had enough of these modern boombox reviews. They have been surprisingly well received, but you’ll likely be relieved to know that this is the last one I’ll be featuring for a while. I explain why at the end of the video.

The most positive thing resulting from making this video is that it’s enabled me to get back on schedule. I can now return to investigating and repairing weird old tech as well as shooting the next patreon update. 

I hope you have a great weekend and many thanks for your support and help thoughout September.

REVIEW: ION Street Rocker ‘Retro-Style Boombox' - Boom or Bust?

The ION Street Rocker has the retro looks down - but does it have the performance to match? Spoiler Alert: No, no it doesn't. Almost any mid-range boombox from the 1980s would wipe the floor with it. 00:00 Intro 02:08 First Impressions 03:43 Tape 04:30 Radio 05:22 Bluetooth 06:10 Wall power 06:53 MP3s 07:28 Tape to MP3 08:07 Specs 08:34 Aux in 08:45 Wow & Flutter Test 09:08 Auto Stop or not? 09:38 Tape Tests 12:52 Opening it up 14:08 Wrap up 18:17 Credits ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM

I see Ion spent a large development budget on complex electronics to simulate the realistic sound of a budget tape (Lloytron and Lionsound from our Sunday market were always popular) to give your MP3's that flavour of authenticity when recording a mix-tape for the girl with the large bust who lives two doors down.
