5.0 out of 5 stars Problem Solved... You Can't Go Wrong With JVC, March 30, 2005
By

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: JVC FS-S77 DVD Audio/Video Microsystem (Electronics)
When did I suddenly start reviewing electronics? Beats me...
I just picked up this nice little unit after having some trouble with a desktop Philips stereo which I also reviewed here on Amazon that I had to return (click to see the rest of my reviews).
No problems here...

I should have known I would like this unit. I first bought a JVC unit back in the early '80s, and they still haven't lost their touch (it was a small boom box which still lives on as the rockin' air monitor in our CD library at the radio station I'm involved with).

This rig was overkill for me, but at the price, it didn't matter. I am only using this for music, and through headphones- so I didn't even need the speakers (they will likely become my new studio monitors- so I may have killed two birds with one stone here...).

What is this RhythmAx feature? According to the manuals, it's some trade secret- but I find myself using it all the time. It's a bass-boost, but it's not. I never use 'loudness' or 'bass boost' on other units because I find them insanely irritating, and I'm not listening to rap music. I'm normally a treble-freak too... The RhythmAx feature brings out a nice clean bass line while leaving everything else alone. It's almost like having surround sound without surround sound.

Overall, this thing sounds great, it's solid, it weighs a ton, it's well-built.

If you need a small system- buy it.

The other selling point for me was the inputs on the back for my cassette deck, plus the full function remote control.

I keep the unit (without speakers) on my desk at work, and it's just the right size. It would also fit nicely on any sturdy shelf if it's deep enough.

I also found this unit in Circuit City and Sears if you want to play around with it... Bring your favorite CD and headphones and tell the salespeople to beat it...
