    had quite a few tuners , I rather like the denon tu 260L which is super cheap s/h

    better by far is my bel canto FM1 which has a separate psu and gives very holographic sound in good reception

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Really? I'm envious.
    Local FM broadcasts "here" are too shite to tolerate. 'Personalities' and repetitive dross dominates. Silence is preferable.
    I can get better tunes out of my TV service's 'radio' feeds
    Radio in my part of the world seems as dead as 8 tracks .
    0oops... just saw that some nutters are trying to revive that though.
    Must have $$ in that race.

    I'm on my second Scott 350B decked out with a very nice set of valves.

    Murders the Sansui TU-9900 I had for tone. That's where it wins as technically the Sansui murders the Scott.

    That Sansui had the best FM sensitivity I have come across. But it is useless, really. Being able to pick up weak signals isn't useful as you don't want to listen to it in a hi-fi system. Whistle. Chirp.

    I also think that a proper aerial is a complete waste of money in decent reception areas.

    So basically the Scott is really quite coloured but in a very good way. The Sansui clinical and sterile. I'll take the former.

    I expect this is why people like Leak Troughlines. Never heard one so just guessing.

    I have owned a few other tuners. The 1963 Scott is the best on the ears but the tech performance isn't good.

    Interesting, my guess would be that a tuner is totally reliant on its antenna, I would have thought the better that is, then the better the tuner gets,
    and that has been my experience.

    I have one of these and it's an absolute delight in every way.
    It opened my mind to Japanese hi-fi, which I'm sorry to say I had previously been rather sniffy about.
