HD Radio...anyone heard any in home tuners?

Hello!

I am in the market for a radio tuner...I have been looking at a lot of units including some by Sansui, Marantz and others...you know the vintage stuff. Then I thought, what about the "new wave" digital tuners. The stations between the stations. I would be interested to know if anyone out there has had a chance to hear any of these radios at home and if they have how did they compair to their old setup?

Thanks for your input,
Ben

HD radio = Hybrid digital. About as good as XM or Sirius which means good enough for background listening but not good enough for us golden eared tweaks. They were sued in England over the name being misleading and lost. Now, a lawsuit is pending in the USA.

I agree with Unclejeff that HD radio, XM and Sirius should stay in the car. I can hear the compression and pumping even in the car.
