In Reply to: Advice on an Tuner: Dynaco FM-5 or Kenwood KT-8300 or posted by Michael10 on April 3, 2005 at 16:53:09:
I have one of the Van Alstine FM-5 "Supertuner" tuners and a Harman Kardon Citation HK23. Several years ago, I did a pretty careful A/B comparison between them listening to non-commercial stations at the low end of the dial[here in Houston]. I was using my roof-mounted, very directional, Radio Shack 10-element antenna with a rotator.
The result: I could not pick between them. They both sounded very good. I ended up putting the Van Alstine in storage, because it has no interstation muting circuit and I was afraid my wife would fry my tweeters by tuning with the volume up.
One additional consideration is support. Van Alstine has very good support of their products, even old ones. If you are considering the Van Alstine tuner, call Frank. He can tell what updates, if any, are available, whether he can align it for you and, if you have the serial number, how old that tuner is.
