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

[John Wilson]

Hey, that's a really nice endorsement of my baby, the HF-150. John Thorpe
and I tried to make recovered audio fidelity one of the key features in all
those receivers, and here you are telling me that it was all worth while.

  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.)
