What is the best FM tuner with remote tuning?

Brianmgrarcom, very interesting...I have owned several tuners..inc. the Magnum MD-108, the only remote tunable one I have had was the Classe Tuner-1 which was very good. The interesting part, is that the two tuners I currently own are a Sansui TU-717, which I am about to do some upgrades on, and a Yahama T-2, that recently went belly-up. I did not have the chance to compare the Yamaha and Sansui..can you compare them for me?

Thanks, Jim

Hello Brian and all,

Thanks to everyone for the input. The MD-108 was used when I had some Maggie 20's and the midrange, female vocals, was the best I have had...but the Maggies had a bit to do with that.

The Classe Tuner-1 is the only tuner I have had twice...and regreted each time I sold it. Since it is based on a Linn tuner section, I have always wondered how good the Linn Kremlin might be.

The TU-717 seems to have the "right stuff" to do modifications on. My plans are for a powercord outlet, upgraded RCA outputs, upgraded internal wire with bypassing the volume control, upgrade all audio board caps..and replacing all lamps with ones with longer life. I did just have the RF/IF section aligned and don't feel I will mess with the filters.

I love analog tuners..and will keep using them, but a remote tuning one is for those nights when I want to scan between oldies programs and Jazz programs without getting up...which, agian, is why I should have not sold my last Classe!

Unless I am wrong, the Magnum remote is only for 5, or so, stations...does not scan, will only do a few presets. Also, Magnum is using op-amps for the audio sections of most of their tuners...not very high-end.
