high quality integrated with a separate fm tuner, is probably easier to obtain and would probably be of much higher quality.
Just a tad taller on the shelf, is all....(two boxes, not one)
I say this as all in oine boxes are the bain of quality and longevity.
that..maybe what...75% to 95% of all VCR/DVD TV combos where thrown in the recycle bin or garbage...with broken VCR’s or DVD players..with the integrated TV still good for another 10 years.
The same thing happens with the modern LCD TV’s with integrated dvd players. The dvd player pops and then the LCD TV part is perfect for another 5-10 years. Never buy one of these things. Point is, a good FM tuner is not found in new receivers, it is found in old ones.
and old ones are ready to break. too complex, to many parts, too many circuits.
Thus... if one wants a quality amplifier section with two channels and an FM tuner section, then..it is used gear, an integrated amplifier.... with a separate tuner.
Where cheap high quality older tuners are more plentiful and cheap--than grass. eBay is filled with low priced high quality FM tuners that no one wants.
