The best thing ever for MW DX is the Hammarlund SP-600 series, closely
followed by the Hammarlund HQ-180.  Collins R-390A's have also been used by
many top DXers.  These are of course hollow-state receivers.  Since you
don't want to spend an undefined "lot of money, i won't suggest the newer
Ten-Tec RX-340 or the PC radios from WiNRADIO.

A GE Superadio is not "really good."  Fair, maybe.  I used to own one.
