I had the pleasure of meeting and visiting Mike "Morzh" this past June. Mike demonstrated several of his radios, including his 8G005 and his H500. I was stunned how nice the H500 sounded, much nicer than my 8G005, having outstanding bass response despite having only about 0.2W from its single ended 3V4 output stage. There is an AM station near him with a "middle of the road" music format. I was surprised how nice that station sounded. I swear that most stations either overmodulate or there is some reason why they sound so harsh when they play music. Unfortunately, the station is not very strong, and I can't pick it up even though I live only about 100 miles (a little less as the crow flies) from Mike, due to the amount of EMI, RFI, QRM, whatever you want to call it.
