OTish I want a stereo alarm clock with USB mp3 player
I want an AC stereo alarm clock with USB mp3 player. Pretty basic
features. I want to be able to put mp3s on a USB stick and play for 30 min or so at night. Anyone have one they want to recommend? I am seeing USB clocks, but I have yet to see one with a USB port on any of the previews. I suspect that USB might be a smaller version than the USB I have on my thumb drive. |

I suspect that USB might be a smaller version than the USB I have on my thumb drive. It'll be a transformer then, these days. Not many new units, Chinese builds, that is which pretty much qualifies what you want to do with USB. Many are also going to be, both or besides USB, Micro TF cards (smartphone memory);- some compatibility issues with that, whereas USB is basically don't exceed the unit's stated stick capacity. Mine are powered viz a cell phone battery that recharges off USB and/or will interact, 2-way, with a computer OS viz the USB port ROM ID. Basic copy files or play out to the computer, newer car line-inputs and stuff like that. Couple hour playback or six with a better battery replacement. Dunno, but my better one, populated and switchable for both TF and USB, is something like 96G of storage from MP3 files I downconverted to 128K sample rates. Tens of thousands, directly addressable by a four- or five-digit keypad, for 9999 or 99999 songs. There's a clock. Some probably have alarms. The Chinese think it's cute to market them as: Old Folks' Music Players. That everyone, who's anyone, evidently, would use something more complicated, like a smartphone. Only dumb anti-computer people, old or mentally infirmed, would use that sort of gadget. In any event, that's the general $10 or $20US tract. Almost exclusively EBay out of Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Central China. They're also on Amazon, with Chinglish representatives, hustling through Amazon's rating systems, lessor or similar items at two to three times, additional, for middlemen markups. Play them both if you're new, for narrowing in on what you want and what's actually out there. (I wanted something to hang from my car's radio knob. A Korean car manditorily equipped with SIRUS subscription reception, along with a bunch of other sh*t, in order to mark it up an additional $1000 for Western Marketing Interests.) Or go buy yourself a BOSE system for $500+US. |

Or go buy yourself a BOSE system for $500+US. Or get a "micro/mini system" like Yamaha, Denon or Onkyo. The thing is that the alarm setting is called "programmable timer". |

I've "Old Folks" style again, compartmentalized, two block mono amps aside each side of a toroidal transformer. The dual amp kits, also sold on Ebay, Class A, AB, D -- almost exclusively without a heatsink or chassis (Yamaha, Denon, or Onkyo integrates) for amp channels. I feed it off a multitrack mixer driving dual 6J1s -- it's the Revolutary New Age, for the masses, of hybrid buffer technology allowing for "tube sound" out of solidstate. Or at least since last week, when I bought mine through Ebay, a Central China vacuum tube preamp. (Replacements for Chinese crap tubes, Voshkod 6ZH1P-EV Matched Military Pairs, are ordered and enroute from Lativa, Central Russia). Douk Buffer Preamp 6J1 Tube - J61 classic tube design, optimization line. - Tube design can be replaced. - Aluminum alloy shell, durable classic. -DC12V Power supply, it is easy to find a suitable power source. - Unique boost mode, the high voltage power supply, power supply mode is superior to common. - Can be used with digital amplifier analog amplifier, active speakers. Specification: Color: Black Material: Aluminum Size: 95x100x32mm/3.7x4x1.3 inch Power: DC12V 1A Frequency Response: 20HZ (-0.2DB) ~ 20KHZ (-0.2DB) SNR: 100DB Input Sensitivity: 300 ~ 2000MV Output: 3000MV THD: 1000MV 0.1% The above isn't much, not really, above the price of Chinese, $10US MP3 clock (in bare PCB with components to a kit assembly form). |
