I have a Sansui TU-X1. I’m a jazz fanatic. There’s only one jazz station in LA. I've always considered my tuner as a tool to find new jazz music. Consequently it doesn’t get much use due to bounty of jazz stations all over the world via streaming...along with Tidal & Pandora Premium. As good as my tuner is, it’s turning out to be more of a nostalgic piece of audio sculpture. It is a gorgeous beast, and I’ll never get rid of it. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/876#&gid=1&pid=4 |
Recently I overhauled my Carver stack - m500t amp, C1 preamp, and TX-11a tuner (kayoed by a party spill). Had to actually replace the tuner, but I was lucky enough to find another TX-11a on ebay in excellent condition for just $125. What a relief to fire it up and hear my stations again, clear as a bell. I may not use it everyday, since I started Qobuz (streamed to a Bluesound Node 2i and thru my Schiit Yggdrasil dac). But nothing really replaces radio. The tube guys may have me beat, but I think that Carver ss tuner is nice for the money! |
