Tuner Gurus: Opinion on Sansui TU-9900 vs. TU-919

No problem, do you own either of these?

I have a 9900. It is very good and totally changes my impression on FM radio. Unfortunately, do not have experience on 919 and can not provide the comparison.

Cdma, thanks for your response.

I don't own either of these. I have been using a Mac MR 78 for 15 years, and had recently heard good things about these two tuners. I was trying to decide whether I might want to switch to one of the Sansui's. I listen to the tuner more than any other source, and enjoy having one that really sounds good.

Cdma, I read on the High-endaudio.com website that the 9900 was excelent but was a little "dark sounding, so the ultra-highs may be rolled off." Does it sound that way to you?

My MR 78 seems a little rolled off on the ultra highs as well.

NOt in my opinion !
In fmtunerinfo web, go to sansui page and read the words on 9900. If their words and ranking make any sense, it won't dissapoint you ! I had not listened to FM often becasue of its poor performance, not any more after I got my 9900. But one key point, you got to have good FM reception/signal, so good antena (and preamp maybe) might be a must.
