Sorry to post again but I have an option to purchase a 260L MK II from a local chap for about £30 but I just wanted to make sure it is at least as good as the MK I

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

The vast majority of modern Japanese/far east tuners use the same IC's (Sanyo, Toshiba and Hitachi usually, no matter what make the tuner) and coils (Toko, Murata) from the same manufacturers and so can be regarded as similar enough to not worry about it.

Despite what Jez says, that Denon tuner was a bit special.

I've got one too! I got it used for roughly the same price, and it's the one piece of my stereo that I will never replace. The best sounding tuner I've ever heard. And Ive had an old Technics, Pioneer, and Marantz from back in the day, and this Magnum Dynalab beats them on all counts. Better reception, better filtering, and better sonics, bass to die for! A local classical station is truly a high end source.

great thread, i've never really compared tuners, well not like i would TT's, amps, speakers and cd players.. i've got an old marantz 2020 tuner i'll have to check it out see how it compares to the in-built tuner im using.
cheers

To go right back to the start of the thread, I have a Yamaha T-700 and it's a very nice thing although, admittedly, probably fourth in the rankings of my own tuner pile!

Another Denon TL260 Mk2 owner here. Best bang for buck tuner I've ever come across.

I have just picked up a Denon TL260 Mk2 locally
Not tried it yet... it came with the original loop aerial thingy which I guess is just for AM but I will need an aerial for the FM... I guess one of those cheap ribbon ones will do for now
As I cleared out much of my unused gear I also need to find some phonos for it, I have a pair 'somewhere'
