Boston Acoustics - Recepter Radio Review

I bought this directly from Boston(AUS) and was very happy, great sound, really nice user interface. After 3 years it started to buzz, buzz got louder and louder, as loud as the alarm, no way you could leave it turned on.
Took it to Boston(AUS) who said 'it's the transformer, it just happens, it's unrepairable, get a new radio'
Don't get me wrong, I don't want a free repair, I'm happy to pay, I just want my radio fixed.
Emailed Boston(USA), tried all the email addresses on their site, eventually got a response from the service department 'here's a contact for our transformer supplier in China'. After a month of email back-and-forth with China I gave up.
Based on their lack of surprise or response Boston thinks 3 years is an acceptable lifespan for a $350 radio - I disagree.
There are other products available that work as well and sound as good, buy one of them instead.
