I have a WJ-8711 and a variety of SDRs (and other premium radios). But I 
end up using the receiver in my Icom IC-746Pro more than any of the others.

Others may experience these radios differently but, for my ears, the 
Icom's 32 bit DSP noise reduction circuitry is superb. I am completely 
deaf above 3 kHz with a minimum of 40dB loss everywhere below that. My 
$6,000 Widex hearing aids can make up for much of the 40 dB loss, but 
most of the wider IF bandwidths on both radios have no audible effect 
for me.  And treble controls are also useless.

I recently acquired a Timewave DSP599zx.  I'm hoping that will enable me 
to understand more stations on some of my other premium RXs and possibly 
the SDRs.
