I've been recording via the Drake R8, but listening on the Magnavox D8443 boombox with the whip down & no external antenna. Sounds good! A few of the songs that I've heard & know are Guess Who "No Sugar Tonight, Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar on Me," Stones "Brown Sugar," Archies "Sugar, Sugar." Crazy how good it sounds just on the boombox.
