Enjoying Grundig 5010 radio

I have finally have the chance to listen to the Grundig 5010 over this weekend. The base is strong and musical and all encompassing. The Telefunken Opus 7 is very elegant and refined and the Grundig is very overwhelming. Given the size of the music, it will be well suited in the living room as well. I can now understand why my fellow Radio audiophile Micheal is keeping the Grundig 5010 as his final radio. He has tested all the flagships models from Saba, Telefunken and Grundig etc and has kept the Grundig 5010.

For me, the Grundig 5010 and the Telefunken Opus 7 are the two best radio. One of my goal is to play the Grundig in stereo and hope I can try it soon.... Will need to hunt for another unit, which is going to be challenging.

同时代各大品牌都有巅峰之作，唯独5010是根德的 "癫疯＂之作。因为没有一款机用2只EL12推挽来作功放之用，多数用1只。推挽功率AB1类15瓦，AB2类可达30瓦，当时如此强劲的功率可以推翻所有高灵敏度的喇叭。

According to Micheal, there are two tubes that will greatly enhance the sound of the Grundig 5010 are namely ECC40 and EF80. I have managed to find a New Old stock Siemens EF80 and hope that it will further enhance the sound...
