Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio HD review: Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio HD

 

Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio HD

Compact stereo radio; receives AM, FM, and HD Radio; separate speaker enables improved stereo separation; rich sound; dual alarms; wireless remote; line-in support for external audio sources.

Expensive; included FM antenna doesn't pull in HD stations as well as it should; recessed jacks make for potentially troublesome headphone and line-in connections; HD Radio coverage and features not yet fully developed nationwide.

The Recepter Radio HD adds digital reception and stereo sound to Boston Acoustics' classic AM/FM radio.

Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio review: Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio

 

Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio

High-end tabletop clock radio; excellent AM and FM reception; 20 station presets; dual alarms; auxiliary line-in (doubles as an iPod speaker).

Mono-only sound; no battery back-up.

With its deep and detailed sound, the Boston Acoustics Recepter may well be the world's best tabletop clock radio.

A good old AM/FM radio seems a little antique in today's digital world and yet technology has even helped this tried and true technology.
