Simply Put - A good Looking Radio with GREAT Sound
I enjoy listening to the radio (seems like one of the few that actually prefer it to the TV), and found this one to be absolutely perfect. It has excellent sound quality, and does a better job at "clearly" receiving stations than other radios. The radio has wonderful knobs that allow fine tuning, and it is fun to occasionally tune into stations from other countries. This radio is built for hearing the human voice, and provides a clear, rich, clean sound. It looks great on my desk, and always draws attention! Although I don't need to use it, the radio comes with antenna connections, external speaker connectors, and bass - tone - treble knobs. The feature I use a lot is the sleep feature, which allows me to leave the radio on as I fall asleep. Well worth the money - I give it my highest recommendation! Toasted with backwards batteries [EDIT] easily fixed ok after all Accidentally put the batteries in backwards, easy to do, markings are poor. Burning smell & no longer works on either batteries or AC. A $100 item should have a diode to protect it. Very very disappointed, what a cheap piece of junk! [EDIT] Well, I opened up the back & found that it does indeed have a protective diode & this was shorted over. I removed it & now the radio works again. Four stars. One Advantage Over the GE Superadio I own both. Some claim better reception with the GE Superadio III. I honestly can't hear much difference. However, the digital frequency display on the Grundig S350 makes tuning to the station you want much easier (and quicker). I've stopped using the Superadio just because the S350 is so much more convenient. Great Product When my other radios wouldnt pick up an AM station that I wanted this product did. I LOVE IT. Good Radio, Great Reception, Great Tuning A good radio. I picked up a used one on a recent trip in America. I'm able from several cities in the USA the past weeks receive BBC, VOA, and Dutch news casts. Also have received crystal-clear German, French, Spanish, and lots of oriental-language broadcasts (although I cannot understand them.) Also receives GMT time and sailor weather alerts with ease. Nice radio. I like the retro design and analog dials which help with fine tuning. A good buy. | |
