Back in the day the tuner was on the majority of the time , no time to flip records are you kidding,...My place was a drop in centre with a lot going on and with the tuner on more then the TV and turntable combined the convenience of this component was tremendous.
The 1970s were bit of a blur though I do remember a couple of large Sansui receivers I owned until I discovered the Absolute Sound Magazine around 1980 .
Some how I ended up buying a Sansui TU-X1 which I recently sold a few years ago . I had a notion that bigger had to be better and my memories of the large Sansui receivers influenced me.
I never had it modified however I did have it aligned though I was always amazed of the sound quality of a good FM broadcast even using receivers back in the day it took a lot to better it .
