While I can't assign exact percentages to overall performance, I'm surprised by your comparison of the 800's performance with that of the R8B's. I think there's a big, immediately noticeable difference in their performance. I've sold a couple of 800s simply because I didn't like them. I'd never sell my Drake or even my Sony SW77. But maybe I just have unusual preferences. There are lots of folks whose opinions I respect who love the 800. Variety is the spice of life, I guess. If I had the hard choice of an '800 and an R75 I too would choose the R75. Not I. Oh, wait. I did just that (choose an 800 over an R75) 4 years ago. Considering that my inclinations currently run toward program listening rather than DXing, that's not a great surprise. For me, the next thing to think about in the next year or two is: R75 vs. R8 vs. R8B vs. HQ-180. Okay, I really would like a boat anchor regardless, so maybe it's just: R75 vs. R71A vs. R8 vs. R8B. --Mike L. |
