Even another electrical gadget question!
 
Hello,

I would like to purchase a digital radio for my boyfriend as an xmas gift. He can be pretty finnicky about sound - he's a bit (a lot) of an audio purist - swears vinyl is best though he listens to footie on a cheapo transistor radio and likes that :confused:. I know pretty much nothing about digital radio and I'm hard of hearing so everything sounds equally poor to me ;). Any recommendations about good digital radios for someone, that would fit his description, available in the UK or any links to informative websites?

Merci.

My husband is a bit of a gadget person, and in the past I have got him stuff for xmas/birthday from this store called richer sounds, that was just down the road from where I use to work back in the UK.

They have an online shop that shows you what they have in stock, and the prices are very good.

Another option when your in Canada is www.sirius.com. The big news is that they have signed Howard Stern for next year and from what I gather It will be the only way to listen to him in Canada as they won't sign up his show on normal radio.

Thank goodness for that. Why on earth would anyone want to waste their precious spare time listening to a man being rude and vulgar? I can certainly think of more productive ways to spend mine.

Have you ever heard Stern on the radio/TV? Stern is in a filth/vulgarity league all to himself. Even our Scottish filthy joke resident expert Eddie can't compete with him. :D

No, not familiar with him, but heard of him, I think, in the context of vulgarity.

www.iwantoneofthose.com is quite fun for gadgets while your in blighty...

Problem with the sirius system, don't you have to pay a monthly subscription on top?

How are earth did you find the remote thread - were your ears burning? Stern is a radio personality out of New York I think who thrives on the publicity that he gets by trying to outdo himself with filthy disgusting language. He was been taken off the air from time to time.

I don't listen to him and wouldn't waste my time doing so, and don't understand the attraction why people do.

Besides I have you with your jokes anytime I need to hear any filthy jokes - our favourite filty joke expert. And yes, your jokes have been a huge success, but a few cute clean ones like you use to do would be nice.hehehehe :D
