Re: Radio sound quality - some measurements
The Roberts R727.
How about something more modern? Surely this will be better, right?
Hmm - proof that the '80s wasn't a great decade, perhaps. This one was quite a surprise. Admittedly, I'd not bought this with great expectations - it was only a tenner at the 2011 NVCF, but it is in great condition. It's only out of the attic because of a thread on here a while back.
So there's clearly something wrong with the bass tuning. The giant dip between 1-2kHz is better than a peak, but a bit wide really. Things are better either side of that, but the sharp treble roll-off surprised me, given that everyone wanted treble in the '80s. Overall, this set sounds like something half its size.
