    It's got a CDP as well. Never heard of/seen one one before.

    Rebadged unit?

    A review from 2007 of the HDX3 system. I must admit, that slipped right by me too. It appears to use the same HD radio section and display as their earlier table radios though. Those earlier units sounded good but only worked properly for a couple years.

    Saw one @ VPR (Vermont Public Radio) in their display of things to try when you cannot pick up their OTA signal very well.
    You know, the terrain up here is... interesting.

    note that Advent 400 (avec speaker system) kind of behind it... :)

    They also had these too. :)
    These weren't just for looks -- they were hooked up (although not in use at the time).

    I remember my mother had that Sony radio in the kitchen. Years later I replaced it with a compact stereo radio...she really liked that. :)

    Nice looking little mini setup. I'd snatch it up and find a cubby-hole to listen to it. Maybe laundry room rig?
