Okay, I originally asked about the Grundig 750 which sells for around
$300.
Now I would like to know what can be considered the BEST shortwave

for
$400 or less. I'm sure I'll get a slew of answers but I would like to
have
your opinions nonetheless.

Thanks,

This is not a stand alone radio.

The OP obviously has access to computers.

Computers have a tendency to generate interference. On the plus side
they can range from improving what you can hear to being necessary for
decoding digital modes but I gathered that the OP was looking for
international broadcasters. The computer in not a big plus here unless
he has a well isolated antenna.

If he wants to follow your radio advice then he needs to get an outdoor
antenna that is isolated from the computer equipment noise.

Modern computers don't seem to leak nearly as much as older ones. Most
radios have computers inside them; can outside be that much worse?

The answer is much worse. Separate computer, monitors, keyboards, mice,
routers, UPS, printers, and all that interconnecting cable make a lot
more noise.
