[Premium-Rx] Wisdom is at a premium

[John Wilson]

Having unsuscribed to all other receiver lists (notably the C****ns lists,
largely because I could no longer stand the fluff and nonsense, I beg the
members of this list to follow the advice of Les - if it ain't
broke.........
The contributors to this list don't need to be told what is, and what isn't
a premium receiver because they all have a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and
experience in the field, and as it is reputed that long ago Louis Armstrong
said "If you have to ask what rhythm is, man, you ain't got it.".
My own interpretation, for what it's worth, is that any receiver which was
designed and used in a primarily professional or semi-professional
environment, of whatever age, will always be considered a "premium"
receiver. That's why I personally view the JRC NRD-93 as "premium" whereas
the JRC NRD-545 is most certainly not. The 51S-1 was, and still is, a
premium receiver, whereas the Hallicrafters SX-115 or SX-117 are not,
despite the fact that they are virtual copies of the Collins line of
receivers.
OK, that's my head above the parapet; anyone care to take a shot at me?
