A very good tabletop radio to buy
apogeus...@gmail.com
Can you recomend a very good tabletop radio to buy ?
I need a radio with very good sound (bass and treble),
and I only need FM reception.
What do you think about GE superradio ?
I have a Tivoli model one radio, but I'm disappointed (excessive bass
output).
What do you think about Sony icf704L ?

Move the Tivoli away from the wall. Otherwise, these sound very nice:

The ''Super Radio'' is not that super.
Joe Analssandrini
For FM performance only (both sound quality and reception quality) you
won't go wrong with a GE Superadio (I, II, or III), especially
considering the price. I own examples of all series (including both
versions of Model I) and I am pleased with their FM performance.
That said, I am a bit surprised that you are not satisfied with the
Tivoli Model 1. While I do not own this radio, I have heard it in
several stores and it certainly sounds good to me. Before you buy
another radio to replace it, try moving it to different locations, even
other rooms, and see if the excessive bass output is tamed. Especially
place it in the middle of your room, even though you may have no
intention of putting it there permanently, and listen carefully. If,
placed well away from any boundaries, the sound is much improved to
your ears, you will then know that it is your placement of the radio
rather than the radio itself which is causing your dissatisfaction. At
that point you may be able to find a satisfactory compromise regarding
positioning of the radio.
If, however, the sound is still as unsatisfactory to you, no matter
where you place the radio, then it's time to buy another one.
The GE Superadio is a good one to try. (Please remember that this
plastic radio is not nearly as good looking as the Tivoli. That might
be a consideration for a "significant other.") I hope the above is of
some use to you.
Best,
Joe

I personally like my recent-model GE SuperRadio. I mainly listen to FM
music on it. It has a 5" woofer & a smaller tweeter; monaural but a
nice setup, I think. For 50 dollars it's pretty hard to beat. The dial
is analogue, but for tuning in local stations of decent power, even on
the lower end of the FM band, it does fine. Also takes an external FM
antenna, if you want to connect one; I use the RShack twinlead dipole.
It's ain't a Tivoli; it's a clunky but pleasant beast :-)

I have both and they each perform excellently.

Nonsense. The S350 is a great radio, and is outstanding for local AM and FM
reception. Very drifty on shortwave of course, but is fine for locals. I
have 2 - a Grundig and a Tecsun. While I wouldn't want one as my only
shortwave radio, it would do fine as my only AM/FM radio, particularly
considering the price and battery life.

The Chinese-made (no longer German made) S350 is cheap, low-grade
plastic, with a low-resolution display, suffers from drifting and
tuning backlash, has a smelly imitation-leather-handle, cheap
dials/switches, 1960's-grade electronics, plastic speaker grill, SW
images galore, antenna flops and doesn't snap into place, etc... Is
that enough ?

I have both the Eton S350Dl and the Redsun RP2100. They are both
excellent radios for the money. The FM quality is very good. The SW
quality is also good. For SW there are certainly better radios. For my
serious SW listening I use my Drake R8B and my Kenwood R5000.

No. It still has great local AM/FM reception, great sound and outstanding

You obviously had a defective unit - assuming you ever really had one at

The RS 12-150 smells of the S350 (same cheap plastic box and switches)
and has quality-control problems too:

Also try stuffing cotton batten into the bass porthole (if there is
one). The Tivoli has been highly rated so I agree with Joe's
suggestions to try things that moderate the bassiness. Alternatively,
maybe trade for a Tivoli PAL or SongBook - they should not be as bassy
due to smaller drivers. I'm looking at those in-store tomorrow.
I've also listened to the Boston Acoustics Recepter in-store - very
impressive sound output and I understand the tuning knob can also be
switched to select presets.
Just tried briefly in-home the CENTRIOS WOODEN CABINET RADIO from The
Source
http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Table+Radios&product=1219025
.
Looks like the Sangean WR-1. Also somewhat woofy and tiresome over
extended listening but seemed to have excellent sensitivity and
selectivity. My wife did not like its appearance in the kitchen so we
have it no longer.
I wonder if Radio Shack has the same unit under its label: Hi-Fidelity

You ever heard of tone controls? Anything purporting to be "Hi Fi" needs a
minimum of a single tone control, but preferably separate Bass and Treble.
Not everyone's hearing is the same, and different programs require different
settings (speech, orchestra, rock).

Kloss was known, among other things, for minimalism. Tone controls
are not part of that program. And given the size of the panel, a tone
control may would have disrupted the clean lines, while making the panel
more busy than it needed to be.
All of which is a matter of taste.
However, your assertion that 'anything purporting to be "Hi Fi" needs
a minimum of a single tone control," flies in the face of high end
design, where the most expensive, and highest performance hardware have
no tone controls or spectral contouring circuitry at all.
That said, there are simple ways to mitigate undesireable bass content.
One of the simplest ways to control the bass perception of Model One
is to place the radio on a sound absorbant pad (one that extends several
inches from the front sides and back of the set) on a table at least one
foot from a barrier--a wall, or other raised vertical surface.
Minor mitigation of the boom (the offensive part of the bass
response) without reducing bass perception can be achieved by setting
the radio flush with the edge of a table about a foot from a barrier.
You'd be surprised at how much tone control you actually have, by
varying the staging of the set.

Great. So to make up for the poor design, you can't place it wherever you
want to. It has to be on a special pad at precise distances from other
objects.
Yeah, that's what I want.
Mike
D Peter Maus
Hey, Physics is a bitch, what can I tell you.
Now, you don't have to do any of these. And thousands of users don't
find any objections to the Kloss design, and enjoy the radio as is
daily. I do so, myself.
But if, as some do, you would like to reshape the audio to your
specific tastes, you have options.
You may exercise them, or not, at your discretion.
But bitching doesn't really contour the bass, now does it.
I'd suspect you may be happier with a different set.
Thank God for the free marketplace that will accomodate your
preferences.
Good listening to you.

No, the included dipole is mounted on the wall right next to the radio.
You would need an antenna on any radio trying to pick-up any signal that is
1/100th the power level of the main carrier (IBOC) - you nitwit. You seem
to
constantly and conveniently omit this important fact about IBOC in your
propaganda.

How helpful. In the US, there are practically no stations in C quam any
more, and practically no music on AM to listen to anyway.

also music broadcasters.
Couldn't tell you anything about C quam.

look for an used stereo receiver with speakers.
Many of them were optimized for AM/FM, set up to drive REAL speakers
and many have impressive equalizers in them.
At the prices of $10-20 for cutting edge technology of the last decade,
it is the best bargain for AM/FM listening if you don't need
portability.

I picked up a like new (suspect it's been in storage for a long time) 1960's
Sansui 2000X at an estate sale recently for $10. I stuck it back in my
radio/computer room with four Minimus 7's hooked to it. Haven't hardly
turned on a SW since I got it. RM~

No, because the instruments have already been tuned and placed for that
hall. That's what tome controls do in your home - compensate for your
particular room and music *recordings*.
What a silly comparison!

If this Tivoli junk was "intelligently designed" you might have a point.

There are about nineteen Music Radio Stations in my local area.AM and FM
Music Radio Stations.

I'm very satisfied with my Tivoli Model One. It has a very pleasant
sound, and is reasonably sensitive on FM, which is what I use it for
(to listen to FM). I have a C Crane FM Reflect indoor FM antenna hooked
to it. But the Tivoli sucks on AM. I can probably hear more AM stations
with a brick.
Don't mistake the Tivoli for a serious FM DX machine, it's not. For
that I use an SAE T101 FM tuner.
