Q) Why are there comments from days ago when this video has just gone live today?

My dad used to work on a grundig hifi factory until the brand was sold off in the late 90s. My parents actually met there. He was part of the team that developed the testing equipment for series production, including cassete decks, and he has some crazy stories from back in the day. His hifi collection is also containing some of the best models ever made there. It's kind of sad to see what would be considered as an insult to the brand, being sold 25 years later.

It doesn't seem to matter how long I'm away from Techmoan videos, when I come back it feels like home. That's a testament to how solid and reliable your videos are.

I never tire of the protective film peeling sequence! It makes me smile every time.

Until 1972 my grandfather worked in the Grundig factory. He told me, that every new product has to be passed and approved by Max Grundig himself. Hard to believe this modern stuff would have passed his desk.

Such a shame that the reputation (or what’s left of it) of so many great names like Telefunken, Grundig, Nordmende, AEG is misused nowadays to sell utter junk!

[dustymax]

I got it! It finally clicked. You're like an older, music focused, Ashens!
And that Grundig remote is the same cheap universal remote I bought as a replacement from walmart.

At this point, if I were to read 10, 000 reviews saying a stereo was good and you said it was rubbish, I'd believe you hands down.
Your reviews are just that well done.
(I imagine there is zero quality control. The belt is probably touching something or covered in grease or the wrong one and the azimuth screw triple glued down with super glue).

I can see the ad now: Introducing the new Grundig MS300 Micro System with sound quality that's "surprisingly acceptable... at moderate volumes." A true endorsement, if ever I heard one!

[mrburnz]

The only thing I liked about this machine is how hidden the disc drawer is.

Techmoan is by far my favourite channel on this platform, straight to the point and always in depth. Thank you Mat for making my day that bit better

9:10 "That's a bit Sharp, there"
No Mat, it's a Grundig.

when I was a teenager about 30 years ago I got my hands on a Grundig radio, it was fairly old even then, but it was really advanced compared to the other types of the day, it had coverage for all sorts of frequencies, short wave, long wave, am/ fm etc. I opened it up, and holy hell it was jam packed full of transistors like no other radio I'd ever seen before !

[MayaPosch]

Snapped up a Panasonic RX-D55A right after last year's video and have been absolutely happy with it.

Thank you so much for keeping us informed on what good gear can still be bought new out there :)

[themaryjayneexperience]

A nice honest review ... It may be junk but it still needs to be covered, under 10 tons of landfill.

"Nothing to see here, move along"
Love the anti-clickbait title. c:

[Slurkz]

I’m afraid the biggest value of this device is your great video about it 😄. Thanks!

[MonotoneTim]

You should make a file type tester where the individual tracks are the robot voices reading “this is a whatever-bitrate mp3, this is a lossless wav, etc.”

I'm still using my little Sony CPX11micro-system. Bought it around 2004 / 2005, and it's still going strong. Never felt the need to replace it. It has none of this fancy wireless technology, but it does have a decent cassette deck and heavy-ass speakers that could probably qualify as a lethal weapon under certain circumstances.

[PhilipBallGarry]

I had a Grundig RR1020 "Boom Box" in the early eighties. My late father bought it for me. The styling was a bit "square" (for the time) and it was a chocolate brown colour. Nothing like my mate's Sony and Toshiba units. My Grundig had two single cone elliptical drivers as opposed to my mates "Two Way" speakers on theirs. But for build and sound quality it blew them away.

[Willogs]

That machine is shocking, you can get a decent Panasonic for a £10-£20 more. Wished that Sony would enter into micro systems market more. The Sony’s back in the late 90’s to early 00’s were brilliant. Another quality video, love this channel.
