The onkyo T9090II was the gold standard for a long time, and for long distance reception especially, but it is now an older design. If you want the newer gizmos, such as RDS and accuclock, to name a few features, you should hunt for the latest quality design form Onkyo, the T4711. It seems to have been dropped from their current USA lineup, but some dealers still have new in the box supplies. I is a terrific buy for the money. I get clean, usable reception from transmitters 60 miles away.
The best sounding FM Tuner is.....
OK Magnum Dynalab, Fanfare, Day Sequerra, etc. owners...I have no "high end" dealer in my area that carries a great tuner. I probably will not have the chance to listen to or 'a/b' compare a tuner before I decide to purchase. I'm asking anyone with comparison experience or anyone that feels that the own the best to respond in this discussion. Thanks, I look forward to reading your responses!
