    And how are you reviewing them Neil, with hideously compressed broacast sources culled from the DAB lines I'm told? Such a shame that the true potential of these old tuners will now never be fully realised, in the UK at any rate

    In the old days, the better reviewers used an FM generator fed from master grade material and directly compared the tuner output with these. Is FM still strong in the US as I remember the broadcast quality of east coast at least to be excellent and far better than ours...

    Hi Dave

    The way normal mortals will listen to them, except I have given them the very best aerial I can. Interesting results and I should have this section published very soon.
    Regards Neil

    I look forward to it

    I counted the tuners I've accumulated in recent times - uh oh! Nothing fancy but with the FM2 gone it's now at five - cough.......

    Post edited - it's late for me and my eyes are stinging. I go dyslexic when I'm tired as well and can't be a*sed to use IESpell most of the time.....

    No Andre

    Missed a CT7000 once on Ebay for an incredible price but it seemed too good to be true so I didn't buy it.

    My shoddy list -

    Arcam Delta 80 - few know how good it can be and it's very cheap now on ebay
    Quad FM3 - lightly tweaked
    Beomaster 1700 - Sounds really nice but scale only up to 104 rather than 108
    Beomaster 3000-2 - receiver with good tuner in dire need of fettling
    Ferrograph - SFM2? - Nice styling but no sensitivity so I suspect a lightning strike
    Cambridge T55 - Needs a recap but dsounds incredibly three dimensional. Gets spitchy on high level sibilants which is common these days in compressed broadcasts.

    Neil has some proper tuners though

    Update Sony done, Kenwood done and about to start Pioneer, Revox with Sansui to follow, and then some miscellaneous tuners, Akai, Marantz and Technics. Then the big comparison with the Leak begins. I hope to have the listening done in a week or so, then write it up.
    Regards Neil
