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

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.
