I don't know that I've ever listened to a "good" HD receiver, but my Onkyo T9090 II connected to a roof antenna sounds really good on certain stations, close to CD quality. All of the HD radio I've heard had a very "digital" sound to it. I live over 40 miles from the big stations in Seattle, so only a few come in really clean. KNKX plays news and jazz and the jazz sounds great.
FM vs. HD RADIO.... anybody think FM is better?
So I have a mint Marantz Model 20 tuner and a FM ANTENNA on the roof. I also have an HD radio tuner in my Marantz 8802a (Av surround processor)
Its it it just because I love my model 20 that I think my local classical station (WRR DALLAS)sounds better on FM than HD? (Both have access to roof antenna)
The HD Definitely is clear with zero static, but the FM sounds fuller and more real. It’s like with the FM your inside the concert hall and with the HD you just listening to a recording.
Maybe im crazy....
