Fully working and in ex. cosmetic condition. DAB plus would be an advantage. Not looking to spend a fortune as for occasional use.

How about a Sony 777ES for £130 icluding postage?
C/W Manual and remote, but missing AM aerial.

A well reviewed tuner and good value at that price. I keep one as a back-up for my more expensive tuners.

I've a Dynalab FT101A doing nothing at the moment. Happy to see it go, fully working and one of the best. Send me a PM.

Dynalab make some of the best tuners available, and they have balanced line outputs. :)

Still looking but it seems I really need a tuner with DAB+ and FM. I’ve rescanned my tuner but no sound on certain stations. Only reason I can find is some stations are only supported on DAB plus.

I know my Makita job site radio (DAB) stopped getting Planet Rock about 18 months ago. My mate had to shell out 140 quid to replace his with the DAB+ version as he only listens to Planet Rock. Several other stations also disappeared. Bit of a con I think. Maybe internet radio is the way to go, you can get anything in the world with that.

I have a Sony 777ES which I might pull out of the cupboard. Up here in the frozen wastes It’s not so much use - as there are few decent signals. DAB might work, but only on DAB stations, not anything fancier such as DAB+. FM isn’t a good option either up here, which is a shame as I also have a JVC TX55 which I was always fond of.

Now we do most of our listening via the Internet - or from CDs or other disc formats.

If I can’t get these to work here, maybe 2026 will see me passing them on.

Currently I’m wondering what interconnect connectors are recommended these days - preferably OKish - decent price, but not the ludicrously expensive ones which have been stretched round the thighs of straw skirted dancing virgins.

I have a box of cables somewhere - possibly in the garage - but it’s cold right now. If I could get a delivery from Amazon for £20 it might save me having to hunt around.
