That is great there is more selection, but I am sorry, the focus is in the wrong area.
Table radios? really?
We need to see more PORTABLE INTEGRATION. Get HDradio into smart phones and i-whatevers. Get it on tablets too.
There is a really nice selection of Automobile HD radios at Crutchfield's website. Heck it was nice to walk into Best Buy and buy a Pioneer car stereo off the shelf for $120.
Looking forward to seeing it more standard in cars.
I bought the NS-HDRAD to listen at work, and I am thrilled with it. We have a local AM station that I cannot get in the office which broadcasts on HD3 on an FM channel. I tried streaming, but my company doesn't allow it over their network, and I didn't want to zap all of my data. Anyway, this worked perfectly. I love the choice of an external antenna or using the antenna that is built in.
I bought one of these last week while BB had it on sale, and I'm really happy with it. One of my local AMs is on an FM HD2, and it blows the analog AM away!
I was looking for a good HD radio receiver, since I was not happy with the sound of standard FM broadcast. I was disappointed to learn that brand names like Sangeon and Sony are no longer available and the used ones are rather expensive on EBAY. I also did not want to spend $200+ on a Sherwood HD Receiver.
Then, I found this Insignia NS-HDRAD at Best Buy for $51 and I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The FM only radio worked OK right out of box. The sensitivity and selectivity is better than my 40+ year old name brand big iron stereo receiver. When I connect the headphone phone plug to my powered speakers, it sounded sounded so good. that I listened to it for several hours straight. It is amazing what a small thing like this can do.
You really should give it a try if you are considering a HD radio. You do need to connect it to your better amplifier and speakers to do it justice.
I had wanted to try one for a couple of years.I bought a VSX 821 Pioneer this time last year.
It sounds better than the Carver it replaced.It is model HR-772.The tech for the carver goes back to
1994.The Bass is still tremendous with the carver.
Anyway got my Y adapter hooked it up to the front rca connections of the pioneer.
The HD radio does come alive through it.
Maybe with time HD radio will be available in most HT Receivers.
