Here you go Cuhulin. Better IMO than the Bose (just
my opinion) and alot cheaper, I think mine was
$99.99 - - I bought one a few months after they came
out.

When I read that Henry Kloss was the inventor I
had to get it. Definitely not a BCB DX machine, but
the sound that comes from it is incredible.http://www.tivoliaudio.com/home.php?cat=262

For most of my simple 'mono' AM/MW Radio
listening the RCA [GE] Superadio III still has
a 'nice' clear full sound.http://www.amazon.com/RCA-RP7887-Sup.../dp/B00120WRSU

Cambridge SoundWorks 740 CD/Radio is used
for most of the FM "Stereo" Radio listening.
Maybe the Bose will sound better with a CD
but imho the Radio section of the Bose 'sucks'
and the CSW FM Radio section just sounds
better to my ears.http://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Soun.../dp/B0000D1E04

One of these days I am just going too have to pull

it DX's better than my GE P780.

The old GE P780s were good Radios for their time
50s/60s and still do a very good job of picking up
AM/MW Radio stations.

Great links there RHF, if no one else appreciated the links, I did.
I've spent a little over two hours reading them.

I have two of P780's. The one on my table is the one with external
antenna terminals on the back, I really enjoy it. One of our forum
members did a great job on it.

I plan on going out to the cabin this winter out in Boo-Foo Tennessee,
there is absolutely nothing out there RF wise and I'll definitely be
bringing
the 780 with me. It really shines out there. :-)

Loved that "Radio Kitchen" and "DXing with Old Radios" links,
I never saw those two before. {?}
