The "Why do audiophiles hate Bose video goes off on a tangent about clock radios at one point.
However, it begs a relevant question:
"How do I wake to music in 2018/2019?"
Back in the day, all CD (and cassette) players had a timer option for starting to play, so I could take a $20 RatShack (RIP) timer (with controlled AC outlet) and my whole system would come on in full glory at the set time.
Is this lost technology?
Surely there is a better and easier way today!?
