Rotel tuner performance after 2000 model year


Hi:

Has anybody try the new Rotel RT02 tuner? Models after year 2000 like Rt02, RT961 and RT955, which one sounds better? Are they sound as warm as old RT4155?

I just bought and return the Yamaha 492, use cable as antenna, sound more noisy than my car's FM station.

Sugarbrie,

Your statement regarding analog tuners outperforming digital tuners at the same price is almost categorically false, although your comments on the Rotel are correct.

For about $200 you can buy a digital that will top any vintage analog costing less than about a thousand bucks, and it will do it in all the right audiophile approved areas, especially high frequency definition and imaging. In fact, you can do it for more like $50.

It's time this vintage analog tuner myth died a much deserved death.
