Review: Majority Fitzwilliam 3 opens up a radio world for new audio adventures

It feels like on the back of the vinyl revival (and, if you believe the reports, the cassette-enaissance), people who really care about their audio are also doubling down on the separates. I remember my dad being proud of his hi-fi set-up, and even as I teen I had my own (far cheaper) record player, cassette deck, tuner, and radio.

It's the latter that has been brought into this century with the Majority Fitzwilliam 3, a high-quality internet radio jam-packed full of features from the Cambridge-based company. Once you have it out of the packaging, the box itself looks pretty sleek (it also comes in two different colours - black and silver), nice shiny buttons, knobs and a little LCD colour display.

You get a decent-looking remote so setting it up was pretty simple and getting it attached to the internet was surprisingly painless. You've got several connection choices including AUX-In, AUX-Out, USB, Phono, 3.5mm jack, optical, and coaxial, so it's all going to depend on how you're going to integrate it into your system. There's also an option to fire off tunes from your phone using Bluetooth as well.
