W9TR - yep, I got rid of the Sony tuner a long time ago. It punched way above its weight for the dollars and size and breadth of functions, but it wasn't up to par from a quality perspective to my ears. I bought it to explore signals in my area, get my antenna all worked out and see if HD was worth it (it wasn't, to my ears). So, I sold the Sony for basically what I paid for it and bought the MD108T, and haven't looked back. The Sony is a quite serviceable tuner and great bang for the buck, but I agree with your proposition that it isn't up to critical listening (in my opinion only, others may disagree and they are entirely entitled to do so).
