Rotel tuner performance after 2000 model year

Hi:

Has anybody try the new Rotel RT02 tuner? Models after year 2000 like Rt02, RT961 and RT955, which one sounds better? Are they sound as warm as old RT4155?

I just bought and return the Yamaha 492, use cable as antenna, sound more noisy than my car's FM station.

RyanMH1: Your comments; 

"Sugarbrie, 

Your statement regarding analog tuners outperforming digital tuners at the same price is almost categorically false, although your comments on the Rotel are correct.

For about $200 you can buy a digital that will top any vintage analog costing less than about a thousand bucks, and it will do it in all the right audiophile approved areas, especially high frequency definition and imaging. In fact, you can do it for more like $50. 

It's time this vintage analog tuner myth died a much deserved death".

BRILLIANT. HONEST. AND TRUE !! ( lol --I'm still chuckling at what a great reply !!)
