Hello everyone. I just recently registered to this fine message board. While I intend to lurk more than post, I figured I'd make an introduction regardless.
I'm a member of your companion forum Audiokarma, and an avid thrift store hunter. A few months back I came across a nice video offering from JVC at a local Goodwill for $8 and some change. I got it home and started doing some homework on it. At that point I found a couple of forum posts from here that briefly touched on this particular piece, so I figured I'd register to see if I could learn more.
JVC HR-S8000U is the model. Pardon the awful photography.
