[Premium-Rx] Comparison question

[Mac]

Brian  i have owned 2 of the 9000's early CRT and later non CRT  and 
neither one i ever thought was worth near what i had paid for them in 
terms of being then a very high end receiver cost and supposed 
performance wise receiver, now on up in the UHF and 700MHz up i was 
never able to contrast against another receiver that was tunable. But HF 
and BCB i was never impressed at all... at that time i did own and still 
have my 3030a and it [cubic] cost a lot less..

best:  mac/mc
