My mom had a boombox with a built in turntable - sounded okay - I wish she still had it I would talk her out of it.
My cfd 5 sounds great and it has a cd player.
My cfd 5 will be a collectors item if i ever get the last belt for the cassette deck - I just need to order the belt.
It works okay with the old belt but gets stuck once in great while.
I just have to assist it a little with a finger to one of the flywheels.
Sony cfd 5 = first boombox ever with a cd player = collectors item.
not to mention its unusual speakers.
If robocop carried a boombox it would be a cfd 5 - ha ha.
So you are saying the bose does not have the volume or output compared to a powerfull boombox ?
Seems like the bose would have a lot more engineering put into its speaker system than 95 percent of all boomboxes ever made.
The bose has the acoustic waveguide and all the dsp to go along with it.
I would not know as I do not own one of the big bose units like yours but I do own a bose sound dock portable.
It sounds amazing for its size.
Millions and millions of people listen to ipods in various way's every day so they can not sound that bad.

yes a cd player does NOT go well in a boombox as a cd is like a record as it needs tracking and it can skip if bumped and or if it's dirty or scratched-up
unlike a cassette which cannot skip - yes there is the wow & flutter issue and if you have to shake one a heck of a LOT more than a cd to make is sound bad momentarily BUT it wont lose its place ....
only drawback to a cassette is finding songs on it is slower but then i listen all the way through - so no issue ...
boombox with a turntable built-in same issue as above nice idea but dont try to carry one while playing a record ...
only place a cd will sound good is in a STATIONARY home deck no possible of it being moved or skipping and therefore loss of tracking or sound , yadda yadda yadda
So you are saying the bose does not have the volume or output compared to a powerfull boombox ?
No I am saying that the Stereo sound coming from one of these sounds terrific up close and personal and can get very loud but the stereo seperation can get muddied if one tries to listen to a BOSE at a distance ,,,
of say more that about 10 feet or so where as a boombox really shines here with the seperation of left and right music still as a portable is just that portable like to be able to be carried outside and played out there without a line cord.
THIS is the REAL test of a True Boombox, anybody can plug into the wall outlet to get power but then its BECOMES a home based unit and well i thinks u could get this picture
unlike a True Boombox where the speakers are straight out there in front foward firing an such

yes they all have their ears plugged up and and cannot hear you and or lost in whatever they are listening to therefore they forget what they are doing because of lost in whatever and or dont repsond in a normal human being way - unplugged that is
I know about this phenomenon I see it every day in my workplace ...
I say if you are going to listen to music then lets hear it!
