I’ve been lucky try some good ones. After lots of listening with Quad electrostatic speakers I choose a Toshiba Ft 920 (over top Marantz- which I found had a too “blooming” bad. I’ve been lucky? to choose reference level MIT Oracle cables,p,i,s; and Spectral Ref gear. That 920 still amazes friends who come over to listen.

NO ONE'S done a more systematic comparison of tuner performance than these guys at Tuner Info Center including mod/upgrades: http://www.fmtunerinfo.com/ |
I have a Mitsubishi DA- 20 tuner that I have had for manu years. several years ago I sent it to Bill Ammons for check-up and alignment. I think that it is a beautifully musical sounding tuner, especially on classical music. I live some eighty air miles from a classical music station and the reception with this tuner is exceptional. I am surprised that no one has mentioned this tuner in the previous posts. Violin |
I haven’t owned a tuner in years. But in the late 60’s-70’s, when FM was as important as air or water, I never heard anything better than Sherwood. Could never quite take them seriously as Sherwood is one of the worst names for a hifi brand ever. Always made me think of a Montgomery Ward Signature or Sears Silvertone, decidedly lo fi mass market brands. But the Sherwood’s I heard sounded terrific. |
