Why even bother?

What is my opinion?

I don't understand why you would care - about my opinion or about my having a tuner.

Nice troll!

Yo! I moved to Orlando and am living at an extended stay kind of deal. Alongside my bed there's my spare classic Yamaha A-1 integrated & matching T-1 tuner on an IKEA Lack table. There's not going to be a digital setup for a while. I need to know what's going on here. You'd be surprised how all this sounds. Rx8man gave me some little Rat Shack A/V sealed speakers and with some basic noise control equipment (PS Audio Juice Bar, Audio Power parallel filter, ONEAC 2 ampere isolation transformer, cryo'ed Tice power cord & Wirewraps) plus two sets of Marigo cones it's sounding clean & decent. There's a lot of vulgar & sexually explicit Latino music I enjoy listening once in a while. For other times there's NPR and classic rock stations.

Hey, gentlemen.

You are missing the point.

I am not against tuners at all. I do enjoy my portative one and one in my car as well.

I am talking about stereophile system that we listening from our "Sweet Spot".

During those times I rather listen to something I prefer and not what on the radio at that time.

I have never herd about anybody listing to MP3's on hi-end system, just because it is compressed and flat and doesn’t have enough data to reproduce a good recording.

So my question was purely in the respect to audiophile point of view.

I hope I haven't offended anyone.

Enjoy the music!!!

Regards!

You have to get in touch with Sedond. He's a high end guy with FM radio as his primary source. His knowledge of FM tuners is truly outstanding and I visited his house a bout year and a half ago. Sounds really decent.
