I have this radio and yes the FM or HD band sounds great but the AM band and reception is absolutely horrid! Don't get it if you like AM radio.

Actually, my favorite tabletop radio is the Boston Acoustics HD Receptor, which comes with a satellite speaker for first-rate stereo production. It's true that stations can be hard to tune into and that you must wait an annoying five seconds for HD channels to play, but the sound quality is superb. Here in New York City, there are extra HD channels for classical music and the only source of sixties oldies. Even regular FM stations sound better than I've ever heard them. The cost of this radio has lately been in the $300 range, but I got it for $250 and I believe that price is still promoted from time to time. I haven't double-checked C Crane for its current pricing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana S. Leslie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Don, Adrian beat me too it. This is the only such resource I know of. I found it a few months ago, when I was researching HD Radio. Unfortunately, based on what I was told by my favorite stereo salesman, there aren't yet any good HD receivers/tuners on the market, for less than four figures. And I'm NOT willing to go there. ----- Original Message ----- From: Adrian Spratt To: PC audio discussion list. Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 1:04 AM Subject: Re: A.M.
