I returned my Pure Chronos DAB clock radio because (a) I couldnt turn the volume down low enough for night listening, (b) the display was quite bright, (c) I couldnt wake up to a different station to the one I slept to.

I am now looking at getting the Tempus 1XT, reviews look positive and its almost the same price.

Anyone own one and if so, can they answer a few simple questions?

Can you turn the volume down very low? The chronos went in steps and was either quite loud or off altogether!

Can you specify a different volume for the alarm to that set when you are in sleep mode? I believe you can also set a different station for the alarm?

How is the display on its dim setting?

THanks, these questions will help me decide!

You've probably been there, but the Pure Bug is feature-packed radio alarm, which will do most of the things the wonderful Evoke-3 does, albeit in a less aesthetic way!

It'll play your Evoke-3 recordings, record, play MP3s, has more alarms than even Rip Van Winkle would need and is... only £47 for a reconditioned unit, £80 new.

Install firmware v2.2 and it's a reliable little alarm clock.

Remember, Peter Beardsley wasn't a pin up, but he scored some great goals...
