Consumer Reports Tests HD Radio
Consumer Reports has just started to test how HD Radio performs: They're not impressed with consistency but they do like the quality. They advise waiting to invest in HD Radio equipment, which is prudent given the paucity of options and pricing. They're optimistic about what's coming--both features and price--and will release reviews of the Yamaha RX-V4600 and Boston Acoustics Receptor HD units soon. I've tested both. The Yamaha is described by the magazine as one of the "only two products for listening to HD Radio at home." Which is a little like saying that, if you had a submarine and a rowboat, the submarine is one of two ways to get across a lake.
