Great! Does it sound good? My mother, who grew up long before the age of high fidelity had one way of describing whether a radio or record player sounded good. She would say approvingly: "It has a good tone." Very pre-transistor lingo, but perhaps a decent compliment for a typical small radio.

I remember ads saying a particular unit had "full, rich sound."
Later it was "full, rich stereo sound."
