Ok, so I've been blabbering and whining about not getting my table radio for a while. Well, this morning it FINALLY came in (gotta hate UPS Ground!).
Well, I anxiously pulled it out of the cool box (With a nice picture of Henry Kloss), and the first thing you notice is the size. It is TINY! But after I plugged it in I was in shock. The sound I'm hearing physically can't come out of a box this tiny. Can it?
The tuning is absolutely sweet. The amber tuning light gets brighter when it finds a strong signal, and the huge tuning nob is incredible smooth and accurate. The 5:1 gear ratio makes it feel very cool.
After messing with the radio I checked the headphone output - not bad at all for such a little box! It is only mono, but at least it comes through both channels.
The input is only mono too, but plugging in my mp3 player and cd player worked just fine. Running it off my laptop right now.
And the sound - wow. This thing sounds so great. Plenty of bass. Obviously not too much lower extension, but the bass it has is very tight and smooth. The midrange is smooth and clean, making spoken voices sound especially great. The upper ranges are quite smooth and refined, and I haven't heard any shrieking noises yet. And that's listening to Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger, which can sound quite bright on many headphones.
I'll follow up more later, but all I gotta say is ORDER ONE!!!
It's only $99!!!
If you don't have a table or little speaker system already on your desk, you need this. Trust me. Read the other reviews! It's a very cool toy..
