Superb tone quality is the icing on the cake.

That Panasonic looks just like a Grundig I used to own.

Yup. The Panasonic came out around 1978 or so, the Grundig much later... mid-80's or early 90's, IIRC.

How about Sangean?

I have had a number of SW radios over the years, Sony, Grundig among them - wish I kept the others, but a few years ago, my wife picked up a Sangean ATS-909 for me for Christmas, and that radio works quite well, for the casual listener.

I hook up the long wire antenna, plug in the headphones and enjoy.
