Invest in a good radio (assuming you're in the Bay Area)! I picked this one up at my local Fry's, and it's been great. I just pull it up on my desk, plug in my ear buds, and listen away.

Portable radio is such a mature product and technology I think you'll be fine as long as you choose a decent brand. I've seen battered, paint and dust covered 30-year old Sony radios still keeping tradesmen entertained on building sites. Models that looked similar to this one for around $89. I would even hazard a guess that you could go cheaper:

I would say sticking to manual dial and buttons is also going to help with durability and reliability as opposed to a LED/LCD screen with station-seeking features.

You have you work? There's always the radio. I miss driving around doing my errands in the evening whilst listening to 1090AM. Also, I bought a brand new radio to take to the pool this summer so I'm excited about that too. My 30 year old Realistic finally crapped out.

just picked up one of these.

def wont fit in your pocket but the thing is loud as hell. uses 4 AA batteries or you can plug it in and use it at home. gets the job done.

had this one before but volume really sucked and could barely hear it at dodger stadium.

>Have you considered a small portable radio that has a stereo headphone jack? You could connect the headphone output to the amp's input.

Yes, I have, but would that be the best option? I'd rather have something that looks halfway decent on my shelf, and most portable radios probably don't.

>"Real" component tuners would work fine of course, but would probably be too big where you're trying to use it.

What do you mean by a real component tuner? Can you link me to an example?

>The only issue I see is that the SA-50 only has one input, so you'd need to add an external RCA selector so that you chose which input signal to use with the amp.

Honestly, I'm fine with just switching out the cable. I don't need a radio so often to where I would need the convenience of a switch. It's a cool idea, though, and one I might capitalize on later.
