First I owned the earlier LIV radio. It was only a C-note to buy, but it had a cheap plastic look about it. Most importantly, any radio is only as good as it's reception. That old one could not pull in many stations including my favorite most listened to one. The new LIV was pricier and I thought I'd try it to see if Sony improved it, or just introduced a costlier gimmick. The appearance is first rate that looks like a high-end stereo component and compliments my stainless steel appliances. The antenna is in the power cord like the old one and this cord was noticably shorter. They did something right as this unit pulled in more stations with clear reception, including my favorite station. The CD section works fine, but I use this mainly for the radio now. It sees daily usage in my kitchen and I'd recommend it highly.

There was one of these units left in the house we just purchased last winter, and when all of a sudden it stopped working I really wanted to replace it with the same item.
The speakers in this unit are great, when there are clear radio stations it is really nice. The antenna (which is part of the electrical cord) is not as good on this unit as the last one, but for the most part I can get the stations I really want. The CD player works just fine, and I can crank the volume to the point that I can hear it just fine in 3 other rooms in the house (and my house is very spread out).
Definitely glad I was able to replace my old unit.
