Budget Tuner Recommendations

Hi all,

I'm looking for recommendations on budget tuners. I've got a simple setup (Jolida CD player & integrated Amp with Totem Arro speakers) and want to add an inexpensive tuner to the mix to listen to NPR, etc.

Used is fine as well as new.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Tim,

This might be what you're looking for. It would be a perfect match for the rest of your system. ;-)

I've had the Sansui TU-217 and 317 in my system. Very good for the price.

The best inexpensive tuner you can buy is a Carver TX11a.
They sound great and you could get one (or even the TX11) for in the neighborhood of $75-150. Someone turned me on to these when I was thinking of an old McIntosh telling me to save the difference in price. I've been happy witht the Carver ever since!

I'm not sure how much you want to spend, but if you have a high speed internet connection, I would definitely go with a Logitech Squeezebox to fill you tuner needs. The Squeezbox gives you access to thousands of stations and its sounds great. The Squeezebox is the best purchase I've made in a long time. As an added convenience you can run it wirelessly if needed. I've recently seem them on sale for $269 new.
