The R-390A gets my vote. Its phase noise figures are among the best, which
helps the weak DX get through.

Among solid-state gear I've owned, I consider the AR7030 and ICOM 756Pro
series receivers to be quiet, but not to the same degree as the R-390A.

I started thinking about this tonight. I was tuning around with a Lowe
HF-150, comparing it with some other receivers, and was struck by how
quiet the 150 is--and by what an advantage this is when it comes to
resolving weak AM signals.

So, just out of curiosity, what's the quietest receiver you've used
and/or owned?
