Top Ten Tuners of all Time??

I've never heard the Tandberg 3001A, but it appears to be almost visually identical to the 3011A that I bought a while back (with the exception of three extra buttons on the front of the unit and 8 gangs instead of 5).

What I do wonder is where the tuner.com site got the $2200 price tag for the 3001a from. An early 1980's review that I saw in regard to the 3001A and its matching amplifier listed the 3001A for $1195.

A full $500 more than the 3011A sold for during the same time period ($695). Given that the only real differences between the tuners appear to be 8 gang stages for the 3001A vs 5 gang stages for the 3011A (as well as a few extra buttons for the 3001A), it seems plausible that the ($1195) price for the 3001A is more accurate. However, if there was a significant difference in the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and Swedish Kroner, that might explain the nearly doubling of price at some time during their production.

Then again, this would have also accounted for a huge increase in the price of the 3011A as well -- from $695 to $1390.

Just more grist for the mill.

Accuphase T-100

Pioneer F-93, F-91 (Don't let anybody fool you, I can't hear the difference between the two, and I bet A/B testing would reveal that nobody else can either....)
Pioneer TX-9800/9500 II. The 9800 prevails in rural settings and the 9500 II has better selectivity.

My recapped Sansui G9000 is really a great sound. I'm imbarresed to say it approaches my 50K system in some aspects.
