Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

Re: Tuners

68.13.78.187

I have had a Pioneer F-28, a SUMO (GAS) Charlie, and a Scott 310E. The F-28 was adequate sounding and very sensitive, the Charlie is dead reliable (it still works) and the 310E sounds phenomenal. It's the tuner that told me that some stations broadcast a stable, believable stereo image. These tuners are now 40 years old, so they're not very reliable. If you buy one, expect to pay $500 or so. And you should immediately send it to a good technician who should replace and upgrade the caps, same with resistors, and align the unit. I think you will be very pleased.

If price is no object, there's also the Marantz 10B (same comments as the 310E on service), a Sequerra unit, and Dynalab.

Good luck. I've got a couple of good tuners and no station worth listening to.
