My dad returned from a business trip in Japan, and brought back a Sony SRF-S84 portable radio for me! Quite the rare event.
Anyway, what's even more shocking is its sound! Wow! I've never heard FM sound so pleasing! It powers my KSC-35's with ease. Why don't the new Sony PCDPs have nice sounding headphone jacks like these? Anyway, from a quick comparison between my old Sansui tuner with stock CMOY and this little thing, I found the big setup to have superior extention in the frequency extremes, but this little pocket radio does midrange so damn well! Very detailed, very engaging sound. Most fun I've ever had listening to the radio. Oh and it has such incredible sensitivity! I beleive radio expert Mike Walker was raving about the sensitivity on Sony pocket radios a little while ago. Very low noise floor, incredible from such a tiny little thing! It's only about 1x2.5x0.5 inches.
Man, I'm sitting here with this radio and KSC-35's with a really dumb smile on my face. I can't wait to mod this thing!
