Grundig Werke Gmbh 8510 Portable ~upd~

This is where the 8510 truly shines. It houses a Class A/B discrete transistor amplifier (often using germanium or early silicon transistors like the AC187/AC188 or BC series). The output power is modest by modern standards (approx. 1.5 to 2 Watts RMS), but the headroom is massive.

Play a vinyl rip of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon through the line-in (if you mod one) or just listen to FM jazz. The sound is "non-fatiguing." Unlike modern speakers that artificially boost treble for "clarity," the 8510 offers a rolled-off high end and a glorious mid-range. Voices are velvety. Piano notes have body. The bass is not punchy; it is present —like a low thunder rolling across a field. grundig werke gmbh 8510 portable
