[Premium-Rx] TR7 and The "Sound" Of Receiver IF Amplifiers

[Ka9p at aol.com]

There is of course the infamous "synchophase" detector on the R-7 which was 
touted in their advertising as a hi-fi /narrow bandwidth AM option when the 4 
khz filter was installed.

I was never impressed with the R-7 in side by sides with the TR-7 on AM or 
SSB, but remain fond of and impressed with both.  Being a cheap Scotsman, I 
still find a $250-300 loaded up TR-7 with a bad final a great route to a 
relatively inexpensive quality receiver.  And aside from the hiss, SSB sounds pretty 
darn good through that 4khz filter.  Wish I'd kept a few.

But I'll nominate the WJ 8718 as the best sounding SSB receiver in my shack 
(maybe that doesn't say much about the shack - a Lowe HF-150 finishes a close 
second.)
