I will follow up; thank you all. BTW, I do have a GE Super Radio that is in OK shape for "garage listening" but needs a whip antenna. It appears to be 10 mm at its base. Can anyone steer me to a good source for replacement antennae?
Portable Radio Quality?!?
I am an old school 2-channel guy and appreciate all things audiophile, so this is an odd question to post:
I need a good-sounding high quality AM/FM portable radio that can be moved around in my home. Mono is OK with good quality reception, that can be played with A/C and battery. [Back in the day, GE made a "Super Radio" (out of production) which fit the bill perfectly].
Does anyone have a favorite?
THANKS!

Some of the cheap Sansa MP3 players have built in AM/FM. If you combined that with a cheap speaker(think bluetooth speaker with line input that you could pick up at the cellphone store) you'd have a portable solution that you could carry on you provided you have the pocket space. Overall you'd be spending under $100 and have you can keep your hands free as you move around the house. I frequently take walks around the neighborhood with such a speaker and the smaller Sansas can be clipped to a pants pocket or worn with a wrist strap. |

Here's what I've used for years ... still available on eBay ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/GE-Superadio-III-Model-7-2887A-Long-Range-AM-FM-Radio/303249964545?hash=item469b1b3e01:g:tQgAAOSwFwFdT07H |
I recommend you Sony portable. This small stereo really puts out the sound! I bought it for my mother, who had said her current boom box didn't have good sound. I listened, and I agreed. She's very happy with this new one. My sisters and I all tried it out at her place and we all were amazed at the sound coming from such a small stereo. The mega bass is awesome |
