of HD radio with such an inadequate reproduction system?

I have no familiarity with HD radio at all, but I presume it's
digitally encoded audio like a CD. If so, one could record the sound
(or data?) and play it on a more capable audio system for better
fidelity. Just a thought.


That's exactly why I want something that plugs into my existing audio
system. Something like the Sangean HDT-1.

Here's a question. Why would anyone in their right mind spend over
two hundred dollars for a small table radio who's sound quality is
marginal at best?

How do you know it's "marginal at best"? Do you own a HD radio?
Which one?

On another note how can you appreciate the quality
of HD radio with such an inadequate reproduction system?

My home theatre system does not have dual alarm clocks let alone a clock.
Besides, I can't fit a home theatre stereo on my night table, can you?

The Boston
Acoustics radio is not bad, I've heard worse, but still it's so
limited.

Got headphones? Try a pair of Grado's with your(?) B.A. Receptor - supurb!

HD Radios are now available in all platforms - table top, auto and componant
for audiophiles.

All HD radio's incorporate analog as well as IBOC receivers.

This makes as much sense as receiving HDTV programming on a
1980's Sanyo television. It loses something in the translation, so to
speak.


Then get a FM HD componant receiver for your Home Theatre system.

I've listened to enough of the BA radios in various stores, so on.
You're right, what the hell do I know. It's great to listen to good
audiophile material on 4 inch speakers. Just like being there, in the
very back row.

The home theatre system sounds better, I'm sure. But at almost a
thousand dollars, I don't think so, not yet anyway.

On the otherhand, I like my XM radio system. And now you can bitch
about the twelve dollar per month fees.

Forget I showed up here, LOL.

Portable? Wearable?

What's the development status of HD programming? (Are they being broadcast
in most metropolitan areas now?) Also, is the audio fidelity as good as
FM, and if not, what are the advantages of getting HD-AM?


Something over 500 HD equipped FMs are originating HD-2 programming separate
from the HD-1 duplication of the analog service. Another 500 to 600 stations
have just HD-1 duplication in digital of the analog programming.

In my experience with a number of HD stations, the HD-1 sounds better than
the analog signal, in part due to the lack of the 75 ms preemphasis applied
to analog FM and in part due to digital processing which results in a less
clipped and compressed audio if properly set up.

HD AM sounds much better than analog AM, although there is no "additional
channel" service available. HD AM sounds as good as a typical iPod or MP3
recording; it is also vastly less susceptible to man made and ambient noise.

One, prices are going down rapidly. Radio Shack has had units on sale for
$99, in fact.

Second, the HD audio on FM is superior to the analog FM audio. AM is
digital, and free of most man-made and ambient interference.

An HD FM component receiver plugs into any audio amplifier like in an
existing Home Theatre system.
about $200 http://www.sangean.com/product.php?model=HDT-1
