Review: Simple, elegant, great sound - So, initially slightly horrified by the price, but was looking for a really good quality, small dab radio for use in the bedroom. I am stickler for good quality sound. This seemed to tick all of the boxes and look extremely stylish at the same time. After plenty of research and reading reviews I decided to purchase it. Am I please? VERY pleased. As soon as I turned off the 'loudness' setting (which is default) the balance was perfect and, bearing in mind this thing isn't stereo I was blown away by the sound quality. Very intuitive controls and so simple. No unsightly myriad of buttons on the front, which hugely appeals to me. Build quality is top notch. Easily fits on the bedside table. Alarm features easy to work out and set. Low brightness setting whilst in standby is not too dim at night. Alarm works well and slowly builds up to volume rather than assaulting you with loud volume in the morning. It was a joy to wake up to Classic FM this morning. Fantastic piece of kit, worth every penny. When I can justify the cost, the R2 or R4 will make their way into my kitchen / dining room.
Review: Well worth the money - I've recently decided to retire my old 20 odd year old manual tune FM/AM clock radio and had been spending quite some time looking at different makes and models of DAB/FM clock radios. None of the ones that I read the reviews for really grabbed me, until a recent visit to John Lewis, where they had the Ruark Audio R1 MK 3 on display. I was instantly taken with it's obvious quality of manufacture and sound and it's ease of use. Unfortunately, the shop didn't have any in stock so I decided to order one in walnut from desertcart. It is rather expensive, but as with most things in life, you generally get what you pay for. In short, I'm delighted by the unit and now that I'm using it at home, the sound is even better than that experienced in the shop (never the best listening environment). The sound is rich and clear. I did find the bass a little overpowering at it's default setting, but this was easily remedied via the settings. With the walnut veneer, it almost looks like a piece of furniture, if that makes any sense. It is as nice to look at as it is to listen to. In summary, I would have to say that the Ruark is worth every penny of it's asking price. It is simply a pleasure to use and to listen to. There are cheaper alternatives out there, but I can see this giving many years of listening pleasure. It comes highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent - just a bit pricey
*by D***6 on 20 January 2020*

I like everything about this radio except the price - hence a lost star. Gives a good sound and interface/usability is well thought out for my pretty limited use. It's so well thought out and a pleasure to touch every time. I was about to say that the light is too bright at night, and illuminates the dark room too much. Then I thought I'd better check and whadayaknow - the standby light intensity is adjustable. In just a few seconds (without a manual) I set the standby setting to Dim. Another option is Off.
