Sony HD Radio Tuner XDR-F1HD?


I know this player has a reputation, but the HD is of now use for us now, but just wanted to know how it is for FM compared to classic Sansui/Pio/Kenwood radios.

A thrift store near by has one for sale for 60$ so seriously thinking of it

Re: Sony HD Radio Tuner XDR-F1HD?

Ram - I've got this tuner hooked up to my Denon AVR-1609, both recently purchased from the US. Got this to supplement the lacking FM frequencies of the receiver's in-built tuner (US spec'd receiver as you might know already tune into odd freq. only).

In my back to back assessment of the same FM stations I found the Denon's in-built tuner to be perceptibily more clear than the Sony (used the same indoor FM antenna for consistency).

Everything else seems to work fine as other amazon reviewers have pointed out.
