I recently got myself one of these -
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.30621 It's so very nearly good kit... but not quite. The size and shape is fine, the armature to plug into my car lighter socket is just about right, and the FM signal from it is strong and clear. But there's a horribly cheap amp in there somewhere, and whenever playing popular beat combo type music with any compression or loudness involved, the bassline fuzzes out the rest in an annoying fashion. Has anyone seen a physically similar device with decent sound quality? I'm not expecting miracles, but normal FM quality isn't miraculous! The usefulness of the device is enough that I'm willing to spend actual money, rather than DealExtreme.com hardly-any-money levels. This particular device is perfectly serviceable for listening to voice recordings and most orchestral. It's just rubbish for some rock or pop songs. Cheers - Jaimie |

Oh, I'd forgotten - the confutatis from Requiem fuzzes a bit too. Not badly, but you know when you've been over-sensitised and it sticks out? (*) Most annoying. Cheers - Jaimie * Fnaar! |

Mozart is da shiznit, innit. -z- |
