Tuner information leans toward the DX guy, Citation 14 is one of only a handful...

of OUTstanding SOUNDING tuners, along with an McIntosh MR 67, 71, 77...{77 I still own} along with a Scott nuvistor 312. I have owned the following over the years... McIntosh MR 78... Accuphase T-100 {great AM}, Yamaha T-1, T-2. Sansui 719, Marantz 115B, 120, 2110, Kenwood KT 7500 , KT 8005, and numerous pieces of dreck along the way. Incidently, I gave the Citation 14 totally refurbished to my son, an heirloom tuner surely.

that's always been my big beef with TIC - focus on radio performance in lieu of sonics - mhardy6647 15:22:35 03/21/16 (2)
I have nothing against tuners that perform well as radios, but I am far more concerned with the sound quality than, say, adjacent channel rejection or even sensitivity.

That said, hk tuners (and receivers) have tended, in my experience, towards the pretty good in respect of both radio and hifi performance.

all the best,

  If those three tuners sound half as good as they look, then they must sound fantastic!
  
  Nice pics.

  - umm, the one in the middle's not a tuner :-) - mhardy6647 08:28:25 03/24/16 (0)
    it's an integrated amplifier.
    ... and the one on the bottom's a receiver.

I have one nice tuner already... - lektrik 12:08:12 03/20/16 (0)
I got a Tandberg 3001 a short while ago that had been gone through by Joseph Chow and it sounds excellent. I'm not wanting to spend the money Mr. Chow charges on this tuner. Just wanting it to sound pleasing (which is not where it's at at this time).

I just wish there were better stations in the Boise area. The one I like does not have a very strong signal and all the others are owned by a couple mega-corporations and they all suck in their own varied ways no matter how different/unique they try to sound.
