H.H. Scott equipment was always thought of as beautiful. I have an old tuner that I built as a kit stowed away in a closet because it is too nice to get rid of. "Good stuff", all of it!
IMHO looks should be secondary but I also like equipment that looks sexy and matches my other components. Take a look at the Accuphase T101 FM only tuners. They have the classic look still maintain there original value and sound great. They only come up occasionly on Gon I would grab one.
The Tuner in the Nakamichi 630 Tuner-Pre-amp is probably the most unique looking tuner with its vernier dial that turns instead of a pointer travelling a scale. Sounds good too!
Phasecorrect,
Altho' it'd be very nice to own one of these vintage tuners & it would be a great attention getter for your guests, what in the world are you going to do with it once it's powered on?? IOW, is there anything worth listening to on FM radio? Each time I put it on all I hear is bloody ads! Nearly every station I found plays the same music over & over & over again until it's gotten so much radio play that I hate that song! :-) There are 10 glorious minutes(in relative terms, of course) of NPR news. Very little else worth tuning into.
Then, there is Magnum Dynalab whose top-of-the-line tune is several thousand $! What a waste!
Some of the internet radio stations are much better. If one can plug the computer audio out into one's main system, one could listen to that over the main speakers. Would sound pretty nice, I imagine.
Anyway, just my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong.....
Check out the Kenwood KD 5500 someone just listed. Same features I like in women - very attractive but inexpensive. Much easier to find this in a tuner ;^)
