Interestung idea.
A local dealer absolutely RAVES about the Audio Refinement Complete Tuner, but when I asked him if I would gain a tremendous amount over the tuner FM section of my old NAD Monitor 7400 receiver, he agreed that NAD made superb tuners for those 7100 and 7400 receivers. (My system comprises VA Parsifal Encores fed by Aleph P and 2 monos.)
The sound of local uncompressed non-commercial broadcasting...especially WGBH (Boston) live events...is VERY gratifying. Except for reduced HF resolution, I sometimes
can't believe the quality of the signal!
I suppose some tuner cognoscenti will summarily pooh-pooh my experience in favor of the classic Day Sequerras, Macs, etc., and indeed having this otherwise-pedestrian NAD hanging around with unused amp sections is clunky, but do I truly have a significant cost-effective upgrade path here? Happy Fourth to all! Ernie
