Best tuner is the one just aligned by someone who knows what they are doing.
Agree or Disagree? - FM tuner info site
Just curious, do their tuner opinions concur with your own tuner opinions and conclusions???
IMHO, while I think the website serves as an invaluable reference tool, I have to take the rankings in the shootout section with a grain of salt sometimes and don't always agree.
For instance, (1) the Pioneer TX9800 was listed by The Absolute Sound as one of the best sounding tuners of all time and they have it listed pretty far down, (2) the Fanfare tuner is essentially the same tuner as the B&K ST108 and they are rated pretty far apart, (3) there is a Tandberg, Yamaha CT7000, and Quad FM4 tuner also pretty far down the list while other magazines have raved over those tuners.....
What has been your experience? Agree or Disagree?
