I don't know what else it was on about, but when your google is
unbroken you'll see a few adaptors at / under the 25 quid mark:

Yes we all know about them.
*snip*
I was listening on a £150 kitchen radio/CD player, which has excellent
audio quality, but no aux inputs. I don't see how a DAB adaptor could
connect to that radio,

If you "knew all about them", you'd know that the adaptors remodulate the
received DAB station onto a spare FM channel.

No they don't. The domestic ones I've seen have phono outputs and have to be
hard wired to an amp.

What do you mean by 'when your google is unbroken'? Are you trying to be
funny? In any case, 'unbroken' is a silly word.

Well, but it was a silly question, wasn't it? If you'd already decided
it couldn't be the obvious answer because of assumptions you'd made
about the mans intentions combined with a detailed knowledge of your
own personal radio equipment and intolerance for clutter, it's a pity
you didn't give anyone a hint that was the case.

I think you were just being a bit cocky.


It seems pretty simple to me, the obvious answer was readily available
from google. I didn't have any way of knowing you'd already discarded
that as a possibility. Try as I might I still can't see any hint of it
in your original post. So you're right, it was a bit sarky, but not
meant in a particularly confrontational way.

What's the fine for being cocky in here, anyway?

Seani's MO is attempting - and typically failing - to be clever. So
you weren't far wrong, Bill.

Whatever exchanges we might have had, I took his question at face
value and took the time to post an answer. But it looks like I wasted
his time and, more importantly, mine.

You'd think it was the end of the world to admit that, yes, the
question was a bit vague. Out of character in his case.

Some do - the pure highway for example.
You could just connect one to a separate FM modulator in any event - they're
widely available now.

I'm guessing your expensive kitchen radio is one of those Bose ones that
were advertised in such publications as Reader's Digest etc. in the late
90s?

There's no formal sanction. It's just that people get your measure.

That's for vehicles, as you well know.

What a palarver! DAB tuner, FM modulator, FM radio, all in a row on the
kitchen worktop. Three things to connect to the mains. Absurd.

I've always regarded Bose domestic products as overpriced, and having more
form than function. So, no. Your assumption that everyone over 50 is a
sucker is unfounded.

There's no reason why it couldn't be used in a house, with appropriate AC
adaptor.

Buy a new radio then. It'll be old by the time FM gets switched off you
know. :p

I can't think of anyone else who made £150 kitchen radio/CD machines - do
enlighten me.

Three things to switch on and off, and you'd have to change station on
one and adjust the volume on another. I think it's referred to as
utter lunacy.

I've got one of these FM modulators here, which I bought to plug into
my hi-fi so that I could listen to stuff on my computer when in the
bathroom. I never even bother using it any more because of the messing
about involved.

You have a long history of helpful and generally friendly posting
combined with a healthy measure if self deprecation, so I'm a but
surprised you seem to have been stung by such an innocuous remark and
a *very* mild dig.

The first search I did for dab adaptor gave me a 24.99 result on eBay
and other more expensive but technically similar options. Again, I
don't know how I could have known you didn't mean any of these.
