vintage tuners

Since my interest is growing in vintage integrateds I have had the opertunity to listen to their tuners. I am finding that they are actually quite good. So that leads me inot my next curiosity.

Now that we are this supposedly better quality digital age. I know the radio stations are beginning to launch digital signals. So wont these analog tuners become extinct? Anyone know how much time we have? I'm assuming it is around 2009 when the TV networks are forced to broadcast in only digital signal.

For some in-depth conversations on the digital vs. analog broadcast issue, go to the website, www.fmtunerinfo.com
Scroll down near the bottom of the home page and click on FM tuner forum. The tuner website also has some interesting specs on a lot of tuners plus some interesting reviews.
