Alarm Clock with Audiophile Grade Sound?

OP wants alarm clock!

You set a wall timer to come on at 6AM or whatever...BAM! Stereo comes on and you have your alarm clock that blows away a dock.

Set a $5 LED clock on top if you need to see the time.

you can use your computer as a alarm clock and connect to your Hi-Fi, it can access to your music library and the sound quality will depends on how good is your setup.

Outlaw Audio has a current model I think by Cue Acoustics. Cnet gave it a good review and it comes with an ipod dock and an optional second speaker.

I second the Cue Acoustics R1 Radio, available direct from the manufacturer, on auction sites, or Outlaw Audio (which sells a special version).

I've had one for a couple of years, along with the satellite speaker for true stereo sound. I use it as a desktop system.

It has seamless iPod integration, a full-function remote, and two alarms with snooze. Small enough for a bedside table. A very nice feature is an optional light sensor, which will dim the display when you turn off your room lights.

I use it as a desktop system, running a line in from my computer through an Audioquest Dragonfly DAC. I am amazed at the sound quality from both terrestrial radio and from my computer. You can also connect a CD player, TV, etc.

I only wish it had HD radio. And I wish the satellite speaker could be placed either to the left or right of the main unit. When connected, it will only the carry left channel signal.

But these are minor quibbles for what is a great-sounding and very functional alarm radio with iPod functionality.

Another option may be radios available from CC Crane online.
