Ryan, actually your well written explaination can be applied to other electronics as well, especially the part about why people prefer certain poor tuners to others - they are not faithful to the signal coming in, but compensate for the poor original sound sent by the stations.
Whats the best used tuner for under 1000
I would like to buy a top quality used tuner for $1000 or less. Should I be looking for analog or digital and what models for best price? I live near a big city so reception is strong and I don't need to worry about that. Adjacent channel rejection would be a consideration but not any priority. Any specific recommendations? Thanks for your interest.
