Well, if you can see this image, you will know what your missing.
It's the gold bit in the middle.
Sorry I will resist from now on ...... every body to their own.

Wow !! And I'm glad you mentioned the Leak as everyone seems to like them but I'd read that they need very good reception.
My Yamaha is nothing special at all but it really is good compared to others I've had and it was only £15 .
I can't quite get my head around that tuners can cost over £500 mark given what's inside them compared to an amp or CD player or even speakers.
Cheers mate

I'm Nigel.
I see what you mean Adam.i do believe I had one these in 1979 .
I can't stop looking at that Peter !!Looks like a beautiful build/finish too.
Thing is all tuners need a good signal. I use a 6 element Yagi and a Magnum Dynalab signal sleuth. I now live much further away from the broadcast mast than I used to so the DSS was a useful addition.
Not heard many of the big American tuners but those MD tuners I had heard I was underwhelmed by. My view was that Audio Freaks had pumped the price up way too much and as such many vintage units offer better value for less. I was also underwhelmed by the Accuphase 101 ... pretty meh moment, sadly an expensive.... meh moment.
Before I started gathering up tuners I thought the Troughline the best I had, and it was, then it no longer was.
Thing is its easy to bang the drum for a cherished favourite until you compare it to whats out there, then you come to the realisation that it was really a rather knackered drum, with a torn skin.
Regards Neil
Thanks Arkless but I know McIntosh is well out of my league.
