Product Description
The Cathedral radio, introduced in 1932, is one of the most widely recognized designs of all antique radios. It has quite simply been dubbed the "Cathedral" or is sometimes referred to as the "Gothic". This remarkably rich replica is outfitted with an arched veneered top and applied solid wood moldings are hand-rubbed to perfection using Crosley's same unflinching standards. Its smooth round edges, woven grill cloths, detailed framework and antiqued bronze face plate lend a true air of authenticity to this time honored Crosley. The Cathedral CD features a programmable CD player with LED display. It is so much like the original, but with all the bells and whistles of present-day technology.

 Old Time Radio September 26, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I am a huge fan of old time radio and modern full cast radio drama like the BBC's dramatization of The Lord of the Rings and ZBS Foundation productions like The Fourth Tower of Inverness. While they sound best through headphones, especially the modern productions, there is just something cool about hearing them come out of an old fashioned radio.
I shopped around a bit before deciding on this "Cathedral Radio with CD". I wasn't around when the originals were being used, but I love the design of the high-peaked wooden cabinets. They look so much classier than the typical modern black stereo system. Crosley offers a couple of these faux-antique CD players, but this was the one that I fell in love with.
Obviously, the sound isn't going to be as great as a super surround sound system, but it does the trick. I never turn it up too loud, but keep the player in my bedroom to listen to radio plays at night. The cabinet is actually bigger than I had expected, being about the size of a small TV set when I thought it was going to be about the size of a toaster.
All in all, this is a fantastic product and exactly what I wanted. It adds the right atmosphere to my favorite radio plays, and looks great doing it.

I love the antique look of this radio. I have it in my kitchen and I use both the radio and CD player. The sound quality is good.
Sounds good with CD. Radio difficult to tune in. June 10, 2008

The CD player in the Crosley CR32 Cathedral Radio With CD Player is a good, solid transport. The playback quality is good considering the small speakers, but the 1/8" stereo jack output on the front works great for routing the output to powered PC speakers or headphones, and with that setup, it sounds much better. Two minor issues: The radio tuner dial is not centered in the window so the vertical reticle does not line up with the frequencies on the dial; and the FM antenna wire could stand to be be another foot longer. In short, it's worth the price.
