5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb digital radio, 24 Mar 2006
By A Customer
The Pure Evoke-1xt looks very elegant and "human" with its rounded maple wood cabinet and aluminium speaker grille, handle, and silver plastic fascia. This combination of clean wood and modern materials lends the relatively hi-tech device a warm and comforting feel. The body sits on 4 small rubber feet and is relatively small and dinky. The display is bright and clear, a 2 line white on blue LCD matrix displaying information such as station, song info, signal strength, time etc. It is easily legible at night time. The controls are very easy to use, with large rotary dials. There is no tuning like analogue radio- instead the Pure finds all the stations available and then the user selects the station from a list by turning the dial, and then pressing the dial in to select the station. The sound quality is very clear and akin to CD. There is no hiss because of the Xt's sound filtering circuits, as well as the digital signal. The speaker is reasonably bassy and dynamic and sing when whacked up, belittling its small size, and handles all types of music well. Id recomend this radio to anyone as it is well designed, easy to use, and delivers good quality radio sound, and really does "evoke" a better atmosphere than the all-plastic radios that are commonplace today. Pure were the first manufacturers to release a digital receiver at around £100 and this unit has been thoroughly reliable as I have owned it for over 14 months now. I use this radio a lot, and is great to settle down with on a quiet night.
