Budget Tuner Recommendations

Hi all,

I'm looking for recommendations on budget tuners. I've got a simple setup (Jolida CD player & integrated Amp with Totem Arro speakers) and want to add an inexpensive tuner to the mix to listen to NPR, etc.

Used is fine as well as new.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

The Little Tivoli PAL radio actually makes a very good stereo tuner, even though it is a mono radio. If you use an RCA stereo mini connector to standard L&R RCA cable, the otput is stereo and it is very good. It is also extremely compact. It is also a rechargable portable radio, so it will always be ready for use during a power outage if you leave it plugged in while in use in your home audio system.

It's a great little radio to use at picnics or at the beach, and it makes a good home stereo tuner.

Enjoy,

TIC

Tim,

This might be what you're looking for. It would be a perfect match for the rest of your system. ;-)

I've had the Sansui TU-217 and 317 in my system. Very good for the price.

The best inexpensive tuner you can buy is a Carver TX11a.
They sound great and you could get one (or even the TX11) for in the neighborhood of $75-150. Someone turned me on to these when I was thinking of an old McIntosh telling me to save the difference in price. I've been happy witht the Carver ever since!
