I am very active in a Chinese radio discussion board, I am lucky
enough to be one of the only few people who got a chance to review the
engineering model of VAL R-301 radio.

A seller reviewing a product? Lot of use, that.

The biggest surprise to me is the sound, it has a very warm and
tube-like sound only heard from vintage European radios, the bass is
relaxed yet powerful, better than the tight bass available from Tivoli.

So basically the cheapest speaker you could find?

For features, it has FM/AM band, FM stereo available from a satellite
speaker, and a real mechanical timer!

Wow. With key to wind it?

Yes, I know it doesn't have Short Wave but if you do not listen to SW
and want a good sound, R-301 is not a bad choice.

Not a good one either by your description.

I have created a group on Yahoo and put a few pictures there, if you
are interested, you can have a look at

Even Keith makes better looking stuff than that. ;-)
