HI,im looking to purchase a used analogue tuner,i have the choce or one of these three, Sansui TU9900, Kenwood KT917 OR A Accuphase T100.I know these are all good tuners but which one is the better sounding one,i like a good soundstage with a good well difined bass response as here in the uk i listen to bbc radio 3 which can sound superb .your advise would be most welcome...i could get the kenwood for a real bargain but the accuphase looks so tempting...james

Hi Guys . My Accuphase T100 landed today ! well packaged ,i had to give it a little clean ,nothing serious though. It looks realy retro in the flesh . I had a listen and wow oh my god !! it sounds so good !! lovely soundstage .
Nearly as good as my Vinyl set up and heaps better than i thought radio could ever sound .I listened to BBC R2 Big band playing and have to say its has got some awesome bass .The double bass sounded like it was in my room,this is from a recorded broadcast too so it can only get better with a nice live broadcast.Shame it arrived too late for the proms Broadcast last week.As you can tell im realy pleased Thanx Guys......James
Best bass I have ever heard Accuphase T-100...... best midrange....... modified Mcintosh MR 71............. I still own my Accuphase even though I live next to a 'rogue' antenna........ a 1\3 replica of the Golden Gate...... actually was built before the Golden Gate by same guy.
I know you should always try and listen to hi fi BEFORE you buy it,but sometimes its just not posible...Ebay etc.Can anyone tell me what my t100 will sound like please...thanks James
In the post you replied to, Cleantimestream wrote it has great Bass.
Well guys i have just won a nice Accuphase T101,i could'nt aford to let someone outbid me on ebay so i had to go ahead and buy this . I hope ive made a good choice...james
I would have chosen the Accuphase.
You made the best choice. What are you using it with?
I hope ive made the right choice.Im using a Musical fidelity A308cr Pre going into a pair of Consonance Cyber 800 mono block amps which feed a nice pair of Cadance Anina hybred electrostatics...
it matters.See further down on this page.
