Opinions on Yamaha CT 7000 Tuner

One of the top 10 tuners I have ever owned.
There is also the even rarer CT-7000B (black) version.
The Yamaha T-2 is also very nice, and in a much slimmer package.

The only down side is that they do sometimes need to be
aligned by Yamaha. Last I checked, about 5 years ago, this was $120.
If you end up with one, send us the serial number and a
large SASE and we will send you a copy of the original brochure.
Remember: "A good FM tuner is a like a million dollar CD collection", someone once told me.

I concur, one of the great tuners listening(most important) and lookswise(pretty important) of all time. Great sounding and reliable, your lucky if you own one.

Great tuners, I have had four of them over the years and currently I have a silver and a black one in great shape. They are quite sensitive but it is the sound quality that sets them apart. Built like a tank and almost the size of a receiver. I also have a T2 which is also quite nice. I have a Sony STJ88 for sale from that same vintage, was 1200.00 mid 70's. Very dynamic and more sensitive than the CT7000. The CT7000 is a true classic.

The CT 7000 is indeed one of the all time classic tuners. For what it's worth, both Stereophile and Absolute Sound rated this tuner as their highest classification in its day. It's not too often they agree! Interestingly, when you can find one, the price is less than lesser units. I finally found one a few years ago. My last tuner.

Cheers,

PS: Old audiophile trivia question: Which tuner replaced the great Marantz 10B as Class A tuner in the old JGH Stereophile listings? Answer: The Yamaha CT-7000, of course.

One of the Best Ever
