'Sound quality', build quality etc.???


Buggy and ****e ergonomics, so I'm told.


OK. (Not encouraging....)



Me much-loved stereo tuners are emitting a terrible, continual
interference these days (both of them) which I can't tune out. I've
been mono for a while now (don't bother me - I like mono)


You *like* mono??


Yep -especially a nice big 'phantom mono' hanging between the speakers!!

If stereo is done well it can be blinding but it's very often buggered up -
presumably by bored mixing engineers? (See recent posts about 'wafting
pianos'....) Mono radio is just an 'ingrained' thing with me I suppose....?


snip excellent links - all bookmarked now


Thanks for the info and to *all* who responded.

OK, I'm taking it as a bit of a 'thumbs down' all round and I've decided to
make a bit more effort with internal aerials on the FM tuners and have
already got a clean mono but not a hiss-free stereo yet. If I can get the
aerials tacked up tidily I'll stick with FM - I've tried DAB and didn't like
it much and can get hold of a Freeview box although I don't much fancy
buggering about with one of them and no picture to see what I'm doing....

I guess I was tempted by the SD card recording and them little blue LED
eyes........
