Boston Acoustics Recepter 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.

Boston Acoustics has created the Recepter, a clock radio that is clearly fine wine in a world of humdrum grape juice.

The radio tunes in both AM/FM stations, but it is engineered to differentiate between stations that are close together on the dial and locks in on the reception, so the broadcast is crisper than it otherwise would be. That's not to say that this device can work large miracles. Small miracles, sure, but if the signal is really poor you'll still get some nasty signal fade and static.

The Recepter has two independent alarm settings that can trigger a buzzer, turn the radio on or both and has a nice bright digital display.

One of the details on this gadget that I particularly liked is the large tuner knobs that have a heavy feel as you turn them. They really feel like the knobs on a high-end stereo system.

But really what this radio is all about--besides the upscale price--is the sound that comes from it. The internal speaker plays full, bass-rich audio that is a pleasure to listen to.
