After a few days of listening to this radio, I can now give my observations. It's a good performer. With a simple wire antenna, I can get all the AM stations I can get on my other radios, and they do well, considering I live in a pretty horrible area for reception. I'm on the back side of a hill, and away from the city.
As far as "Hi-Fidelity", I'd have to stretch a bit to call it that. But when I play music with Bluetooth, off my laptop, I use an software equalizer to just add a bit to the mid's and highs. Not a lot, but it starts getting close to high fi. It sounds quite nice, especially on some old R&B and Blues. And a baseball game sounds great. It's not going to knock my Sparton 1867 off of the hill as far as music goes, but it is quite nice. As for the "acoustic dampeners"......I think they are just a gimmick. But who knows, I can't turn them off to hear the difference.
