OT: micro stereo system with alarm functionality

[AngryScientist]

I'm driving myself crazy looking for something that has the features i want.

i have had a small yamaha micro stereo system for just about two decades now, that has finally given up the ghost.

i need a replacement ASAP, as i use it every single day as my alarm clock.

specifically, i want a small system to sit on my nightstand that has decent audio, but importantly, i need to be able to set the time to have FM radio come ON in the morning and also what time it goes OFF.

seems most systems have a default of playing the radio for an hour and shutting off, that wont work for me.

to be clear, i dont want anything that requires a cell phone to set, does not need Bluetooth, wifi or anything complicated.

basically a high end clock radio that has good sound and can program alarm on/off times.

does anyone have a suggestion that meets this criteria?

Denon DT1. Not sure about alarm functions, though I know it has an alarm feature.

Angry pal, if there's a goodwill/thrift store close to you, I suggest you check it there first. With Bluetooth, and wireless, a lot of these older systems that have stereo and alarm function combo were abandoned on the shelves of these stores. I picked up 4 or 5 of those for less than $10 each and put them in my kids rooms to help them get up on time for school. Many of them have the older iPhone pod connection and I got a bunch of iPhone 4 & 5s for less than $20, put in their favorite Playlist or audiobooks for them to listen to.

Tivoli Music System BT (https://www.tivoliaudio.com/shop/experience/music-system-am-fm-bluetooth-cd-hifi-system)?

Yamaha Desktop Audio System. (https://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio_visual/desktop_audio/tsx-b72/index.html)

Those would be my choices.

You might check out these options. DreamSky seems to offer a lot of options and Sangean is a quality brand that I have used in the past on a semi-pro level in broadcasting.

And as Weisan mentioned; I still use a 25 year old Westinghouse clock radio that provides exactly what you're looking for. Seem to be a few of those on Ebay right now but at that age...you take your chances with noisy tuners and basic AM/FM speaker quality.

I was looking for something similar a couple years ago. The problem with most decent systems, like the Tivoli, is that they're too big to put on a nightstand. Ended up going with Alexa, which has the features and a surprisingly decent sound for little money.

EDIT: NEVERMIND
Did not read your requirement list carefully enough and i dont think you can set the off time..


These are pretty nice imo. Good sound. We have a couple of similar models but without alarm in the country house.

Yep,

after too much google searching, i think i'm going with a tivoli one and a digital outlet timer to turn it on/off.

i think that should do it.
