| Adcom GFT-1A Digital Tuner ? how good? definitely the best tuna adcom ever made. their later tunas were less $$$, & had worse specs. s'phile, years ago, rated it *best sound, but only w/a strong signal*, in a tuna comparo they did. i had a chance to a-b my gft1a w/a magnum dynalab ... | |

| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? hi martin, go to the tech-talk topic & czech out the *believers vs non believers* & the ps-audio threads. yule learn that all electronics sound alike, w/the possible exception of toob-stuff - which sounds distorted, so those of us who like... | |
