Have you seen the NEW Panasonic tube car stereo?


Hey AudioGon's. Check out the photo at www.Audiocubes.com as they import the NEW Panasonic CQ-TX500D Vacuum-tube auto stereo.
It's dubble DIN in dash size. $949. It's not made for the US market, so it doen't cover all the US FM band. You need a FM converter which in included in the price. It's also in the July/August of the new men's CARGO magazine, page 64.

Besides, I mostly listen to talk radio in the car and the turntable almost exclusively now at home; ie, the CD collection is rarely heard and typically only for background music. The local FM jazz station gets more play than the CD player these days.
Kublakhan, we are not responding because we've seen posts on this topic so many times before.

Regards,
I don't know why more people didn't respond to this post. where are all the tube freaks? i just saw the unit and I WANT IT! beautiful...thanks for posting
If I were to put this in our car my wife would--to be accurate--really pissed off. She already can't get the Cd player in our living room to play when I have it set for the vintage (mono) tuner.

The other car(the one I drive) is a company car and I refuse to put a single penny into it.

Still, I do wonder how it sounds......
