Revo Heritage is ‘lovely’ but ‘better value to be had elsewhere’
Revo Heritage
MacUser came “to love the Heritage” during their tests, but they found it hard to look past the wallet-busting price tag.
“Revo’s Heritage is a lovely modern version of the table top radio, but its price tag means that there is better value to be had elsewhere.”
The sound quality was praised, but they identified a couple of omissions – “the Heritage can only be powered from the mains – there’s no battery option – and there’s no onboard memory to buffer DAB or Internet radio streams, so you can’t pause or rewind them.”

Logitech Squeezebox ’stands out from the crowd’
Logitech Squeezebox
Radio Business Report has reviewed the Logitech Squuzebox and describe it as “a really nice unit overall that stands out from the crowd.”
They contrast it with radios on the Reciva platform saying “under music genres, stations are not organized alphabetically (unlike the Reciva platform radios). It takes time to find a station you’re looking for in this menu option.”
On the plus side it “packs a real visual punch, combining full-color LCD imagery (a 2.4” screen) with WiFi radio reception – we’re talking logos and type display for all stations it receives (100,000+ radio stations and shows); display album art, scrolling artist/track info; Flickr photo slideshows and very cool lists of any city’s stations across the planet.”

Reghardware brands Squeezebox charges ‘a disgrace’
Reghardware liked the Logitech Squeezebox, but they were less than impressed by having to shell out extra for a battery and remote.
“Charging extra for a remote control and battery is frankly a disgrace, since both are pretty essential if you want to use the Radio about the house or in the garden, which surely is the very point of it.”
They sum it up by saying that the new device is the transistor radio of the Squeezebox range to the Boom’s ghetto blaster.

RadioWorld reviews the C Crane WiFi Internet Radio
RadioWorld have just pronounced the C Crane WiFi Internet Radio a ‘relative bargain’.
“Problems aside, the CC WiFi receiver is a capable little receiver; one that provides an enjoyable entree into the world of Internet radio. Now if audio quality is a priority for you and you prefer not to use headsets, the Tangent Quattro is a better buy. But if ease of use, memory capacity and the option of connecting either by wire or wireless matters more, choose the CC WiFi.”
