We have a mini HiFi in our kitchen, I bought it some time ago but when we received a Sony home cinema amplifier as a wedding gift (how convenient was that - I mean, how could they know that would be the ideal gift!?) and it was kinda made redundant. So now it lives in our kitchen and we can listen to HiFi audio whilst making a cup of coffee or whatever. But some months ago the radio component stopped working properly and we can't get radio stations to tune.
So, yesterday I decided that this was all the justification I needed to invest in one of those new fangled digital radio things, not least because I felt that the wooden box design complimented perfectly our wooden table-top HiFi speakers.
Broken radio, HiFi going to waste, wooden speakers; it was a match made in heaven.
So far I'm very impressed with the audio reception, most music goes out at about 160kbps and so, higher than most MP3's and certainly good enough to listen to in awe when pumped through the hifi, plus you get a little scolling line of text telling you what you're listening to or the title of the track playing.
Plus, now we can listen to traffic reports again at 110db. What an interesting and varied life we lead.
