[Leica] Tivoli Model One radio

[jshul at comcast.net (Jim Shulman)]

I recall reading that the first generation of HD radios wasn't exactly
great, but as with most electronica the latest iteration is far better than
the initial lot.  In fact, there's a $200 tuner (Sangean) that was
recommended to me from the chief engineer of a local station--he noted it
was superior to the very expensive broadcast monitors of a year or two ago.

As for interference, most of the stations I listen to have second HD
channels, and their main FM signals sound fine.

Who's thrilled that there are now TWO FM primarily-classical stations in
Philly again, thanks to HD
And who will wait for the full-frame M11 that's sealed from moisture, has a
100meg sensor, and retails for fifteen bazillion dollars.

If you do a little research and check bit rates you will find that HD radio
broadcasts are not even equivallent to MP3, let alone CDs.
   
  As more and more stations add HD, most older radios and stereo tuners will
be neartly unlistenable because of the interference ( noise ).
   
  Several of the first HD radios have been  of such poor quality that they
are already in the "bargain bins"

  Before I'd buy any table radio, I'd make sure it had HD radio reception.
Most radio stations are now broadcasting second (and sometimes third)
channels of different audio in HD. The audio is CD-quality, and gives you a
wider variety of choices. So don't get stuck investing a hundred or two in
something that's on the verge of obsolescence.

After reading reviews, it looks like the Tivoli Model One has about the
best cost/performance ratio, and many people speak highly of it. Any of
you folks have experience with it?

Peter, it looks just like the original KLH radio from the late 60s.
Probably because Henry Kloss was the K in KLH. I used to have one. It
sounded good for its size. There's a RS near me so I plan to give a listen
to their model if possible. Somehow I doubt they're the same.
