Sangean WR-11 Wood Cabinet AM/FM Table Top Analog Radio Wooden

You can read the latest review here! The radio I'm using is terrific! Due to how much I liked them, I actually bought two of them. I'll explain further what the problem is with one of them. I'd like to start by saying that the sound quality is quite amazing My reaction is that I do not find it excessively bassy, but please keep in mind that I mostly Some people might find the bass content too strong on an NPR newscast. If that is the case, you can put a cotton ball (or another sound dampening cloth) in the audio port on the back of the iPad. There is no risk of damage to the speaker if you try it, so feel free to do so. There are no problems working with the AM and FM bands on this radio. I found it to be better than my Tivoli Model One on AM, for example. There is no soft muting between AM stations on this radio. You can adjust its sensitivity to your heart's content. It is likely that you are hearing noise and interference on AM depending on where you have the radio placed. Neither the radio nor the speakers are to blame. Almost everything that moves affects AM, but parts of the spectrum affect it more than others. There is no other solution except to move the radio or to connect an external AM antenna (there are terminals for both). There is nothing to blame on The weak stations are no problem for me to pick up. It was not designed for DXing, but you will be able to pick up a lot of distant stations at night with it. Keeping fidelity and selectivity in balance is a good compromise. A narrow set of filters does not make it a communications receiver. A surprising amount of sensitivity can be achieved with FM. The external FM antenna that I use (and recommend) is an external FM antennas either mounted internally or linked to a line cord are at best marginal. They may work as a temporary solution Take a look at it and see if it works. The score I have is A large yagi on the roof of my house connects 11 to an FM classical station with a range of more than 60 miles. The FCC has enabled a lot of additional FM stations to be added to the FM band as part of their so-called reform agenda, which has degraded the FM band tremendously over the past few years. A program to revitalize AM is named "AM Revitalization. " They are in fact trying to turn the FM band into one that is rife with interference I used this radio on FM, and it was a similar grain-ridden mess to my AM band receiver. The sensitivity on FM is comparable to my much more expensive receiver. Also, there is a good level of selectivity. 90 has a classical station that I listen to. In the presence of stations on 90, 5 will be given. In the following, I have rated 90 and 3. There are dozens and dozens of powerful stations in my area, which I listen to on the radio seven days a week. The 15th). If the power is turned off, the supply draws a small amount of power. The Kill-meter was used to measure it A 1 Watt device draws only 1 Watt in actuality. A maximum of one watt when it is off (not five as stated by another reviewer). There is no significance to that. The sound draws three when it plays at a moderate volume The power consumption of the light is four There is no audible hum on the Tivoli (as is the case with its older models). There are a couple of things to note in Due to the fact that there is no separate switch for disengaging the radio, if you plug a cable into the aux input on the back, it will automatically do so. You can also plug in a pair of stereo headphones, and it will play in both ears, but the sound is in mono, not stereo as another reviewer claimed. For this reason, you cannot use this radio as a tuner for your stereo system if you want The precision of the tuning dial is excellent for an analog slide-rule dial, which is what I would consider to be the case with the tuning I have two sets of tuners, and one of them keeps tune quite solidly. One of them does drift a bit, which is why I mentioned it Although the drifting one is in my cabin, where the temperature is not as tightly controlled as in the other one's, I am unsure why one of them does and the other doesn't. There is a possibility that changing temperatures may affect the tuning elements and this may contribute to the problem, but even then, I feel like the one that is not quite as stable is still an issue. You are sure to fall in love with this radio if you buy In addition, there is a nice wooden case with it. It's a high-quality product. There's a tuner in the 40th Edition model that differs from the original and isn't as good as the original. Sadly, Amazon does not make a distinction between the two models in its reviews, and another problem is that this occurs for other products too. There has been a redesign of the tuner, and a "soft muting" feature is now available The volume of a weak station will be greatly reduced if you don't want to listen to it. AM reception was generally poor compared to the original model, and a lot of static was picked up as well. Depending on where the static is coming from, I'm not sure whether it is coming from the internal power supply or the AM line itself. There is no high end in AM, but there is a lot of The frequency response rolled off over about 500 Hz, based on what it sounds like! There has also been a degradation of the FM tuner since it has been changed as well. While tuning over to a station, a distinct 'click' sound is heard as it locks on to each one at each of the three points. While the middle one is most powerful, the second and third will be heard at a much lower Furthermore, stations can still be heard at low decibel levels beyond these areas. Even stations that aren't very strong appear to follow this pattern. The changes to the design of the tuner appear to be the result of some sort of plan. No improvement has been made. Although it is a small table radio, the sound quality is excellent on FM, and it is better than other small table radios Assuming I could give consecutive ratings for the various features of the 40th Edition model, I would give them as follows * Sound quality on AM is (Middle) *FM sound - mediocre *Its a good download, but not a great one I give it 5 stars (awesome)** Performance of the AM tuner 0 stars (terrible! )
* Performance of FM tuner -- Mercedez-vous bien (mediocre)

I am not certain, but I suspect that Sangean may have changed the tuner design in the current production of the regular model WR- I and WR- II. A total of 11 radios will be updated The radio I currently own is fine, and I am not planning on buying another for the purpose of testing it out. But if you are planning on purchasing either model of this radio, be aware of the issues described As a result of the poor tuner performance of the current design, I have decided to drop my overall rating from 5 stars to 3.

When the Tivoli is brand new, it sounds good. Rich, warm sounds can be heard in this composition. This song sounds better than the Sangean on AM talk stations. True analog tuning is provided by the Tivoli. You can hear a lot of noise, and the tuner drifts a lot. It drifts quite far in 15 minutes, so it drifts pretty quickly. In order to capture the signal, I have to move my dial back and forth over almost 10mHz. There is a lot of noise when tuning between stations. It sounds like the tuner potentiometer is dirty, but it's not the type The part needs to be replaced, which is more of a hassle than I'm willing This is the result I got It was my birthday this year and I got the 11SE. A Sangean was requested to replace the Tivoli because of the above issues. The Sangean seems to make use of When it finds a strong signal, the tuner stays quiet between stations and locks on when it finds one. This Sangean display is linear, rather than a dial, and it's backlit. As a result, it's much easier to read than the Tivoli display. Tivoli sounds warmer and bassy, while the Sangean is more mellow. Due to this, the Sangean sounds better for FM music than the Tivoli. Listening to AM talk on the Sangean, it sounds clear and crisp. There is just an obvious difference in the Sangean's sound and the Tivoli's sound. Other reviews can give detailed information about the specs and other details.
The Sangean is about half the price (or even Tivoli's price is indicated in 1. ). Although you're buying the brand name of Tivoli and the brand name of Henry Kloss, the radio is not nearly as good. In fact, I own several Sangean radios and all of them are Singaporean is a Chinese company and has been for many years. China's radios have been made and are still made there. It is a Chinese company founded in 1997, not a new company built off of stealing and copying designs from other companies. As a result, it is indeed one of the few Chinese companies making high quality products as well. It has been over 20 years since I bought and used Sangean radios, and I've never been let down. I have had very good experiences with all of them. on par with Panasonic and Sony in terms of quality. The Tivoli Model One radio definitely does not compare to this one.

There was no way I could choose between a Sangean WR-42 and the Tivoli Model One Both were sold at $11, so I bought them both for comparison. My random thoughts are as follows You can turn up the volume on the Tivoli a bit. There is a much brighter sound on the Tivoli, but it can be extremely harsh at times. Listening to the Sangean at a low volume is impossible due to its extreme bass. While the Sangean is boomy at low volumes, the Tivoli can be used in a quiet office setting since it allows you to listen at low volumes and still be able to hear everything. I hear a bit of muffling with the Sangean, almost like it is receiving heavy noise reduction. When I walked into another room, I was able to hear the Tivoli much better after turning each of them up to high volume. If you want to listen to talk radio, the Tivoli is the way to go. In the Sangean, the speaker is too directional in that you can tell where the sound is coming from from the radio, but the Tivoli is more diffuse, so you not only hear the sound, but can distinguish the source as well Sound that travels in one direction. In addition to having a more sensitive receiver, the Tivoli is very noisy and staticky when tuning because it seems to pick up every sound. There is less noise from the Sangean By using the same external antenna with the Tivoli as I did with the Sangean, I was able to pick up some stations that I couldn't catch with the Sangean. Though I went into the trip hoping to like the Sangean more than the Tivoli due to the fact that the Tivoli costs twice as much, in the end I found I Compared to the old radio, this is much better. Also, I want to record the Tivoli's line-out to my computer for a local weekly radio show that will be uploaded as a podcast and found that it has a more dynamic, fuller sound than the Sangean's. In the process of my comparison tests, I also discovered that I much preferred the look of the Sangean's natural wood, so I am exchanging my Black Ash/Silver Tivoli for it's classic Walnut/Beige counterpart. It is my pleasure to help!.
