 Amazing little box May 22, 2008

I've owned my Evoke 1XT for nearly three years, and it has pride of place in my bedroom. While it doesn't offer the range of recroding/rewinding features that many DABs now offer, it compensates in its sound and its simplicity. If you are considering buying one, I'd highly recommend getting the XT-1 auxillary speaker - I have the Evoke on one side of my computer, the XT-1 on the other, and suddenly work becomes bearable. The lack of upgrades from Pure suggests that they got this one right first time.
Great digital radio for under 100 December 30, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this radio 2 weeks ago and I am very happy with it.
Firstly I think is very well priced and looks almost as good as the 200 models ( that can be a bit too small ).
Secondly the maple finish looks stilish and makes any room look good.
The sound is a good as it can get with digital radio and can fill a big room without distorsion. You can program it to wake you up in the morning with your favorite station ( has 2 types of wake up mode weekdays and weekends ) , the brightness settings can be adjusted to night time.
The power sourse looks cheap and ugly so I invested 25 on a Pure VL-60924 ChargePAK E1 battery which are long lasting rechargable and you do not need to take them out as they recharge from the power supply.
In summary this is the best digital radio for under 100 with a classic look.
 Great, but for the volume control December 16, 2007

I've had the 1XT for just over 2 years now. For 2 years, I was delighted with it. A robust little radio, which looks very sharp and sounds very good.
However, a couple of weeks ago (and just a month out of warranty) my radio developed the volume control fault which seems to have affected at least 3 other reviewers here. Even with the dial turned down to zero, the volume booms out too loud to be comfortable. The radio is effectively unusable.

This is a great radio but 20 months down the line mine developed the 'getting stuck on loud' fault. Spoke to 1 person at customer services who said "take it back to where you got it and get another one". Phoned 2 days later and was told by someone else to send it back to be sent a replacement!
 Great look, spoiled by common fault August 8, 2007

From the point of view of esthetics, ease of use and so on this is absolutely a first class radio. It looks great, it's intuitive to use and has a classy finish and sound to it. But, and this is a big but, I've found that it develops a fault whereby the volume control stops working properly so it comes boomingly loud, and you can't turn it down. I'm not the only person to experience this fault it seems. If you look at the reviews for the sister radio the Tempus there are numerous people who have all experienced the same problem. I took it to a repair shop and it's costing me 65 to get the fault repaired. Poor.
