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

I am of the opinion that 'HD Radio" will be staying in automobiles. I have been tracking it for some time now and there is a growing consensus that internet broadband is the better source for digital music.

Sonos and Slimdevices(I own the Slimdevices Squeezebox as well as the Transformer) seem to dominate such internet server markets.

You can search the Audiogon archives on HD Radio. Oh, the name 'HD' stands for, I think 'Hybrid Definition'.

What was that last line in 'CASABLANCA...'"this could be the beginning of a good friendship."

Whatever....Thanks.
