Kenwood L-02 tuner actually a unicorn

Fish,

My boss has a mint TU-X1 and doesn't use it. Refuses to sell it to me too... pisses me off

I think most of them are in Europe. The last one I saw for sale was listed in a German Audio Salon.

I have seen, but not listened to the Sansui, I think it was in the Roswell space and stero musuem, but never this Kenwood. Viridian don't be offened, some of my best friends are unicorns? Hack, have you heard the Sansui TU-X1?
Great tuners have a special sound to them. It may be nostalgic but the sound seems to linger a little longer. Warm and sweet so I just want to hear these two.

Hi guys. On audiomarkt.de there was one sold for € 2.200,- this year. Dealer was Audio Reference, Steinstrasse in 40213 Düsseldorf. I saw the L-02T but because of money issues I kept my L-01T. L-02T for sure is one of the few state of the art tuners available. I was lucky to compare the unit at the dealers showroom against Accuphase T-109V, McIntosh MR-78, Klein & Hummel FM 2002, Kenwood KT-917, Wega Lab Zero, Restek Metric, some tuner from Tandberg (can´t remeber), Sansui TU-1X, Linn Kremlin, Day Sequerra, Marantz 10B and Burmester 978 Reference - all tuners were sold through this particular dealer this year. All tuners were top performers whereas I liked the Restek, the Day Sequerra and the L-02T most.
I don´t know where this dealer got this bunch of great tuners from but as far as I know he sold all of them.
