I bought the Sony tuner, and it is far superior to my Yamaha T-80 ...
I always thought my tuner was a holy grail of sorts for FM, and I was
very happy with the analog performance.
BUt now, there is ZERO noise ... I am hearing background vocals much
more clearly now, and classical (in analog and especially in HD) is
much more detailed.
Dynamic range is better, but not CD-quality. I notice the signal to be
less compressed, and there is no fatigue.
All this for less than I paid for my stock Yamaha tuner off ebay ..
