FWIW, the 37-116 is a much more complex radio with a better audio stage/AVC/etc. I would expect it to perform better than the 90. Though the 90 is no slouch, I have a 90 console that sounds pretty good, though it, too, does have some distortion at low volume levels. Especially on my local 1.5MW station.
