Dear Blake,

Virtually any modern receiver will "run rings" around what we had back
in the "old days" regarding performance, versatility, and reliability.



I beg to differ...I don't think all modern receivers can run rings
around a properly tuned R-390 or 390a series receiver. There may be a
few that will out perform it but even that is doubtful.

I never a R390A back in the good old days. Didn't get one until about
1990. Excellent electrical performance for sure.
