Blog FeedThe Perfect Clock Radio
Almost 3 months ago now, I told the story of my quest for the perfect clock radio. News of my progress has been scant as of late, but I am here to tell you that it is now over. The previous contender, Seangean’s RCR-1, was so close to being exactly what I wanted, but it had one crucial flaw - it hummed. The internal transformer turned the expensive and featureful device in to nothing more than a useless brick, playing havoc with my incredibly light sleeping habits.
Where I left you all last time was at the point where I was deciding on what to do next. Indeed, I did contact the retailer to ask for a replacement, and another RCR-1 was shipped out to me in due course. It suffered the same problem. Contrary to Sangean’s claims however, the devices were not atypical of the RCR-1 model line. I believe they were all like this, and the final resolution to the problem only proves it further.
