Tuners to audition under 700

Should mention that if you don't have difficult reception problems and want excellent sound on the cheap on the used market consider the Creek T-40/43, Musical Fidelity A3 (have not owned but heard, excellent value), NEC T6E (really inexpensive alternative), Roksan Caspian, many of Magnums are nice but have a family tendency to drift off signals over time.

I have owned and own so many tuners I forgot to mention the very musical Accuphase T100 and 101 (the 100 is am/fm and has an extra gang stage). Give me another 10 minutes to think and I will probably add the names of 20 more tuners I have owned. But should probably get onto work, arghhh.

i agree w/what nandersond is saying, except, for one thing - in the lo-buck arena, i tink the adcom gft-1a tuna has better sound & better sensitivity than the nec t6e - i had the opportunity to compare this tuna directly w/my adcom tuna, & the adcom beat it in both sound-quality & reception...

I have an old Scott lt112b sounds so good it's laughable thinking what I paid for it. But I also use my MAC1700 RCV which has a tube tuner which sound better than many tuners upward of $700. I laugh at the price I got that for too! Get an old klinker and use the remaining $600+ dollars for CDs & LPs....

I have an enormous respect to the fathers of anything that we benefit from today. Take a trip on memory lane:
