Vintage Tuner Comments

Mattybumpkin, did some research while shopping for my tuners (been through Kenwood 8300 and Magnum Dynalab 101A) and discovered a great site for tuners - http://www.geocities.com/tunerinfo. Also a nice DX site - http://www.amfmdx.net/fmdx/tuners.html. These may be of some help.

That is remarkable Viridian. I owned a Fisher 1000 a few years ago, compared it to Magnum Dynalab, Yamaha CT 7000. PSE Studio 3 and Marantz 10B. I am still more impressed with that Fisher than anything I have heard before or since.

If FM had not gone completely to crap in this market I would have kept it.

Matty,
The follow two websites (mentioned above) are the best sources. None better. There is also a tuner club on Yahoo Groups.

I think you will find that the Kenwood KT-6500 and KT-7500 sound about the same. The KT-7500 is a better DX machine. The 6500 has only a 3 gang tuner, the 7500 is 5 gangs. I believe I've told you elsewhere that I have a 6500 and a modified 8300 (DX and Audio mods). The 6500 is a great deal if you just want good sound. They sell used for +/-$50 depending on condition.
