Hi all.
I've been thinking about this tuner recently and would love to try one out. My main reasons are:
- Great ergonomics - I'm fed up of push-button tuning and the rotary tuning dial on this looks gorgeous
- Superior audio - I'm also a bit of an audiophile. So far the best tuner I've used for audio is a Yamaha T-85 but I'm guessing the Audiolab might be even better
- Good specs. The specs for sensitivity & selectivity look very similar to the Yamaha tuners, if not slightly better
- There's a socket labelled 'RDS/MPX OUTPUT'. Never seen this before and it means I should be able to hook it up to an external RDS decoder, very helpful for IDing stations.
- They seem to be selling for reasonable prices on eBay at present
So in summary my dream tuner has audiophile sound, good DXing potential and superior ergonomics. The Audiolab looks like it might tick all those boxes.
I know Audiocellar who service these tuners should be a fairly easy drive from here too if I need to get one checked out.
So, worth getting or not?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Nick
