Three brands I love-Philco, Zenith and RCA. They have such a mellow sound(to my tinnitus ears anyway). It is a bit pricy I'll admit and I may just adore it from afar. I haven't decided yet. I really need yet another radio! It would be a treat to not have to open one up, replace filter and bypass caps and half the resistors but rather just plug it in and enjoy. I haven't had many like that. One of the few was an Atwater Kent Model 44. Heavy as lead but a great sound for such an old radio.
