Default New Eton E5 gloat

I have several Sony portables and love most of them. Unfortunately I have
to agree with you in ALL respects about the 7600GR. Sorry, Joe...

I have already tried the 7600GR and I wasn't impressed. To me, it wasn't
nearly sensitive enough, plus it has NO tuning wheel, which for me is a
definite negative. As far as the sync detection goes, it worked, but it
was really noisy and whistly. And if memory serves me well, the sound
quality is very weak.

Thinking I might have received a lemon, I sent back my first one, got a
replacement and it was just the same, so I sent it back as well. Two
years later, I ordered a third one, and it was no better. I sold it on
ebay.

In my opinion, the 7600GR is way over-priced and way over-rated. For my
tastes, the E5 is the radio I wished the 7600GR had been.
