Jeff -

This oughta be good!  :-)

I don't think there is any comparison between the two.  The NC-300 is a 
solid, stable receiver with good AVC and great audio.  The HQ-170A has 
none of the above.

I loved my HQ-129X, and still have it and an HQ-140X.  But by the 170A, 
it was all over for Hammarlund.
