Err.. no, I'm not drawing any conclusions.
Just stating my rather extensive observations
from a large amount of experience with a reasonably
large assortment of tuners on the exact same honed setups.

This is far better than guesswork from people who's
only experience is the HDHR.

Kind of like how I got suckered into purchasing the HDHR originally.
Lots of positive reviews, but nobody actually doing a real world
comparison with other tuners under any meaningful conditions.

This ain't that!  :)

And I'm not the only person to have noticed weak sensitivity of the HDHR.
Browse through the SiliconDust forums for other people still hoping
that someday the HDHR might catch up.
