  Cool piece of gear you got there. Fortunately, I'm pretty happy with the tuner in the Marantz 2250B.

  All the best,
  Guth

    It's interesting that a tuner really only needs to be good enough for a specific location. You really don't gain anything by it being over specified. But that's also true of most of our electronic gear.

  FWIW, I used to use the "little brother" ST-J55 AM/FM unit. Definitely NOT junk.

    Eli,

    Yes indeed. I looked up the ST-J75 on the Tuner Information Site and they mentioned the ST-J55 & 60 very kindly. Called it a much overlooked group. There's also a reprint of the Audio test report on the ST-J75.

    This thing sold for $450 in 1981, which was a lot of money for the time.

      LOL
      Probably the best $75 you could spend on a tuner.
      For pure sound quality my vote goes to the Onkyo T-9.

        I tried a T-9 a while back, but it didn't handle the multipath problem I have in this location. Which is why I bought the Onkyo T-4087. I did upgrade the antenna a bit since then so my Onkyo TX-870 receiver is OK now; but I really need a directional antenna. (or I could dynamite the city water tower--nah, the antenna's easier to get)
