5.0 out of 5 stars Through the price barrier, February 26, 2008

By	Ralfalfa (Novelty, OH USA) - See all my reviews

I've been listening to internet radio for more than 5 years, and have been exploring the purchase of a stand-alone wifi radio for the last two. The market has either been high-end ($300+ for the Roku Soundbridge or the Revo Pico), products with flaws (check the reviews for the Torian InFusion) or not a true standalone device (requiring that your computer be on, works only with open networks, etc.).
When I saw the Grace Wifi Radio at the $170 pricepoint, I decided to give it a try. I opened the box about an hour ago, and within 10 minutes had it set up, working with my WPA protected AirPort network. Sound is good; this isn't hifi, but like 90% of internet listeners I'm no high-end audiophile. The stations available through the Reciva server simply blow my mind (think thousands instead of the hundreds I normally look through on iTunes). I can see myself playing with this for weeks, cranking the dial like a kid with his first shortwave.
Note this is a very simple radio; only 5 presets, no equalizer, no dancing visuals, no ipod dock..... And I haven't tested its capability to play audiofiles sent by iTunes (that's not what I bought it for). But all in all I'm very pleased, and while decent wifi radios will probably be available below $100 before the year is out, I'm glad I didn't wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grace WiFi Radio, February 28, 2008

By	Digital Don (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

Easy to set up and use.

I've used it mostly for Old Time Radio broadcasts, so the sound is only as good as the source. But the speaker actually sounds quite good and there's even a 'bass port' on the rear of the case.

When you register on the Reciva site you can select and add programming to 'My Stations' by searching genre, location, or key word. Next time you turn the radio on, your selections appear on the menu!

I originally thought the small number of presets might be a problem. However, since you can scroll through 'My Stations' using the dial, presets are almost unnecesary.

Considering the price of competing units, this radio is a bargain. It does everything I expected and I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price, December 11, 2007

By	hbdawg (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews

This is a great radio and for the price, its a steal. The sound is more than ok but I play it through my stereo system. The drawbacks are that it takes a time to figure out the instructions, there are so many great stations but only 5 presets, I still haven't figured out if it will work with my Mac, and there is no remote! However at $100 less than any other wifi radio, who really cares?
