I powered it on, but I haven't tested the sound because I don't have a base. My circumstances changed, and it's been sitting unused for about 9 years. Due to its size and weight, shipping will be via Sagawa or Yamato. I will pack it using wrapping paper, bubble wrap, and a custom-made cardboard box. This is a used item. Cash on delivery (buyer pays shipping) No claims, no returns. The passive jack has come loose.
