Old "Boat Anchor" tube receivers vs. Solid State receivers?
The higher end boat anchors (HRO50/60, R390A, Collins, Drake, et al)
compare quite favorably especially on noise floor. Jay Rusgrove, has compiled (and done his own tests) on quite a few BA receivers (Minimum Discernible Signal, Dynamic Range). You can see the test results he http://www.w1vd.com/BAreceivertest.html and he http://www.w1vd.com/BAdynamicrange.pdf For comparison here are lists of more modern receiver test results: http://www.sherweng.com/table.html On Mar 7, 8:46*am, "Mike M." wrote: Hello, * How do the old tube type receivers such as the Hammarlund ,Hallicrafter etc compare to the modern solid state receivers in performance? * *I am curious about the longevity of the tube radios on the market. Thank you, Mike McManus |
