My Scott LT-112B has no HD issues.
Marantz 150 IBOC noise performance?
Thanks for sharing this. How about the 150? It is three generations after the 20B. Brian Beezley's web site

indicates that the 2130 which followed it has a post-detection filter, which should help with HD noise.
Thank you!

Marantz 150 IBOC noise performance
An authoritative source told me:
"No post detection filter on the 150, very nice sounding tuner, but if you have a station with bad IBOC, it's probably not the best choice. No narrow IF either. It is a great sounding tuner on good broadcasts though."

Day-Sequerra is offering an upgrade to their classic analog tuner to filter HD noise:

Stop. Here’s a message from our Legal Department.
1]. The term “HD” in HD Radio does not stand for “high definition” rather it relates to “hybrid digital” technology used in HD Radio.
2]. DaySequerra is the leading provider of modulation monitors and confidence monitors to AM and FM HD Radio broadcasters in the U.S.
3]. DaySequerra’s founder, David Day, speaking most recently at the National Association of Broadcasters Show in April 2013 said “Taken as a whole, HD Radio delivers incredible dynamic range with a vanishingly-low noise floor. The HD Radio lossy-codec is quite good; and while not as transparent as the best closed-circuit analog FM broadcasts, its real-world performance and feature-rich user experience outweighs its shortcomings, and moves broadcast radio into the internet age.”
HD Radio… continued. HD Radio IBOC “hybrid digital” technology used today provides the analog FM stream on the same center frequency as before but with IBOC OFDM digital sidebands on either side of the analog broadcast.
Update from me: Sherwood 2400 and 3300 tuners do not filter HD noise well :-(.

I got to do some A/B testing between the Hitachi FT-007 and Hitachi FT-5500 (revision I, not II). The HD noise resistance of the FT-007 is much better than the FT-5500. I'm in a very strong signal area; I was able to improve the signal-to-noise output performance by attenuating the input to the tuners from the antenna. The difference was more pronounced on the FT-5500 but still just audible on the FT-007.

I have a Pioneer SX-1000 TD and I've not had too many issues with the HD Hiss on it (the local NPR Station is using a Digital and Analog signal) and when I've listened to it on there its not very noisy its actually quite silent (except for the sound of the people talking).

The Marantz 2130 rejection specifications are all 120dB. Very noise free tuner. Next time I have my 2130 on the bench, I plan to check the SCA performance.
I need to look further, but are the Dual Saw filters in the 2130 responsible for these specs?

Maybe just lucky but so far no problems with:
Sherwood S3300, either the FET or FET/Microcircuit verssions
Sony ST-5055
McINtosh MR77
Philips 6731
Not quite totally immune but acceptable:
Yamaha CT610II
Receivers:
KLH 27
Philips 785, 796,797
Sony STR6045
H-K 630
Sony STR6120
I have not gone through my entire stockpile but these tend to geet cycles in the most, or did, and issue looked at.
