52 is a TRF with a plate detector. In which respect it is same as 20, and the superhets like 70 and 90 also use the plate (also called Power) detectors. They all sound a bit distorted, especially at the low signal level, considering the volume in them is changed by actually attenuating the antenna sgnal.
Of course you can have other problems but these radios never sound very well, they sound acceptable.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
