Stay far away from this radio. I'm looking at my broken one right now and feeling very ripped off. My $300 Tivoli Audio Table radio Model Three has started going in to hum mode whenever I turn up the volume even a little. The hum takes over and I have to shut it off, turn it on and try to not raise the volume. Eventually however, it just goes in to hum mode. When I called Tivoli today I was informed that for $75 they would take a look a it. They must be motherlovin' joking. I've got Zenith radios from the Sixties that still never miss a beat and this thing craps out after very moderate use at best. The unit looks cool but the sound leaves much to be desired. I really really regret the purchase. If I can save one person from dumping $300 on this hunk o' junk, I'll feel groovy. Basically you will end up with a $300 analog clock like I have. (actually I like the backlighting that everybody's moaning about)
