I just purchased one of the Jolida 402 tuners. So far so good. I haven't completed a thorough evaluation of it yet, but so far I'm satisfied with the value for dollar spent results. Good sound, good reception. I'll post more on my thread next week.

Is anybody there that have experience with the following tuners?

Audio Refinement Complete Tuner
Thule Spirit Tu100
Consonance Reference 1.0 Tuner
Jolida 402

Thank a lot
Rmihai- The website mentioned by Albert reviews mostly classic tuners, but on occasion reviews something more recent. In that vein, they rated the Meridian 504 very high on their list, well ahead of many of the very excellent classic tuners. I've seen the 504 in your price range on Audiogon. Good luck.

The guy that reviews tuners for this site is in my audio group. He has keen ears and a good sense of value for dollars spent. I suspect there are several excellent tuners in your price range.
