FM vs. HD RADIO.... anybody think FM is better?


So I have a mint Marantz Model 20 tuner and a FM ANTENNA on the roof. I also have an HD radio tuner in my Marantz 8802a (Av surround processor)

Its it it just because I love my model 20 that I think my local classical station (WRR DALLAS)sounds better on FM than HD? (Both have access to roof antenna) 

The HD Definitely is clear with zero static, but the FM sounds fuller and more real. It’s like with the FM your inside the concert hall and with the HD you just listening to a recording.

Maybe im crazy....
thoughts ?

My McIntosh MR88 tuner does both FM stereo and FM HD. The FM stereo sounds more analog and the HD sounds more digital. My favorite Rock station broadcasts both in HD and FM stereo. Soundwise, it’s a tossup.
