I am hard of hearing from many years of noisy work conditions.
That is the exact reason I do not think I will get the premium stereo. With my hearing loss I can not hear all the subtle things you would normally hear so I can not justify having something that I will not be able to enjoy.

HD does sound better than regular FM Jeff, at least based on what I've heard so far. There are a few stations in KC that broadcast the same material regularly and in HD format. The tuner aquires the analog format first and then the HD so there's a transition between them. In all cases so far it's been better than the analog.
Now if I lived in Chadron, Nebraska I might not have opted for HD. ; -) |

There's a couple of things I'm not fond of with this HiFi setup. It does not display volume and it doesn't display remaining time on track for CD's or iPod. At least I haven't found where it does.
As far as volume is concerned Jeff, I think you could do some damage to your ears given the fairly tight environment and OK amplifier power in the 1. But I don't listen to a lot of continuously loud music so I may not be a representative sample in this group. I have a bit of hearing loss, and tinnitus - I have a hole at 6KHz (could have been firecrackers or firearms that did it - don't remember ; -). But I get to a lot of musical events (unamplified, Chamber Music) and subsequently have a pretty good frame of reference for music. I played Brahms' Neue Liebeslieder Walzer this morning and it did pretty well (not excellent) on the piano and very well on the vocals using the 'Music' setting on Logic 7. |

Then would you say that having the iDrive '09, which has HD radio, warrants the logic7 - ( based on your statement above - agree?)
