Tuner Mavens


I'm starting a search for the forgotten component-a nice tuner. Any thoughts on how to initiate the project?

Do you want a remote-controlled digital tuner/a non-remote digital or an analog tuner? The greatest audio bargains can be found in older tuners. I'm using an indoor antenna from www.ccrane. com called the "FM Reflect" which works well. (But, an attic or outdoor antenna works the best.)First decide whether if you want a remote.(If you do the Rotel RT-940AX would be a fine choice and well as a Marantz ST-59/6000, Yamaha TX-540 or any Yamaha Remote capable series (RS) tuner, to name a few of the choices.) If you could get by w/o the convenience of a remote (and have available rack space) the choices are overwhelming! Vintage Kenwood/Sansui/Marantz/McIntosch/Pioneer...Good Luck in your quest! Bill
I have a Sony 550 ES, A magnum dynalab 101 and a vintage marantz with the flywheel tuning. I like the Marantz the best. Very easy to use, great reception and great sound. I decided against spending any more on a tuner when I got a personal tour of the local classical station in PGH-When they aren't using single bit sony 300 disc changers, they are using compressed audio from a massive hard drive!
How can you have any quality sound from that? I quit and am spending money on LPs. Unless you are in a big market like NYC, you won't find anyone transmitting high quality sound.
