A very pervasive problem

Thanks, Al,

It is very frustrating and disappointing that the very stations that are broadcasting the high quality and minimally processed music I enjoy most are all NPR stations deeply committed to HD radio, and so have their audio overlaid by that constant hiss.

The problem has been going on for at least several years now, and is becoming more common.

I am surprised that Magnum Dynalab does not even mention HD self-noise on their website or in any of the information available for their tuners. I have also not found any mention of the problem in any reviews of their gear on the 'net.

I am considering calling the company and ASKING if any of their newer tuners address the issue.

Thanks for answering one of my questions: I was planning to get a Signal Sleuth to see if it would improve the noise. No dice, I guess!

At least I find that HD hiss is decreased to a tolerable level on my Etude if I flip to the narrow IF bandwidth setting.

Ken
