there was a log running tuner shootout on the internet. you can find it by google. they matched one tuner against the current champion. had about 75 when i quit reading. i think a sansuii was on top. i had a sansuii tu9900. it was very good at tuning in stations. most fun to listen to was a Scott 340b. but it had constant alignment problems.
What are some of the better tuners out there?
What are some of the better tuners out there? I am enjoying my Magnum Dynalab MD106T. I find myself at the mercy of reception and clean ac but when all is right the sound is quite nice. I’ve found good results with Amperage tubes but I find tubes too inconvenient in that they burn out too quickly.

"Pioneer Elite F-93. It slayed the Day-Sequerra" Well...it is subjective audiophoolery right? I'm gonna find that article. Sounds like a good read. A $50 used Pioneer FM tuner that was made to match the rest of "the rack" in the $700 package at the Good Guys. "Slays" the DS? I'm giving my 65 Mac away for the Pioneer. |
I have the equipment and skills to do a complete alignment. Anyone that wants the best out of a vintage tuner should seek out an experienced tech to do the same for yours; well worth it. With that said, of several tuners in my home, a completely refurbished, aligned and modified Sansui TU-919 is my favorite. Great suggestion on fmtunerinfo: https://www.fmtunerinfo.com/index.html |
