Default Thinking Positive About "My" Eton E1 Radio ! -and- Simply Enjoying the Listening Experience :o)

Yea, "it's fine looking", just like all the Grundig/Eton receivers,
but that's it. I really wonder, if the E1's performance, over a $150
Sony 7600GR, would be worth justifying an additional $350 - I'm sure
not ! You all are not getting nearly your moneys worth !
Yes, I was put here to keep all you "ham shackers", from ****ing it all
down the toilet ! But we must have the, "latest and greatest", even
though it will be useless in a few years ! Not my problem ! Remember,
you need to have some extra cash to buy those Star Wars uniforms for
the next convention !

Sony's are mass market hit and miss QC overrated plastic crap shoots.

Eton is a shortwave niche manufacturer who cares. The Sony lacks IF
shift, multiple bandwidths, meaningful tone controls, a decent audio
amplifier, and most of all... CLASS.
