OT: micro stereo system with alarm functionality
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.

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.

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. https://tivoliaudio.se/shop/model-th...t=M3BT-1468-EU Last edited by tuscanyswe; 12-27-2019 at 07:37 AM. |

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.
