Mceljo-good point. My first reaction was something like "who covered my speakers in cheesecloth?", it was that big of a difference. Although I've written off the tuner since I got it for so little, I'm still not used to the trade off in sound. Having a bigger and fuller mid to bass response is nice but it seems to dominate the already limited frequencies in a disproportionate way. I guess one can say it has that classic Marantz house sound from the 70s. I once inserted an old Marantz receiver (I believe it was a 2030) into my system and the sound was very similar: big, full and wooly.
Like Kotta pointed out, different tuners will sound different in the context of any given system, just like any other component.
All the best,
Nonoise
