I think I have a pretty good Class B (medium expensive gear) system consisting of VTL tiny triods amps, Audible Illusions Mod 3 preamp., Nottingham analog space deck with a Clear Audio cart., Spendor S100 speakers, -AND an old, 1980's analog Kenwood KT 7000 tuner. I listen mostly to our local jazz station, but my old cheap, ugly, used, Kenwood sounds better then any of the other media I have. It's not even on the FM Tuner Information website. Those tuners this website does list, must be very, very, good. And it seems that the old Kenwoods are most often praised on this web site. This makes be believe, -they just don't make FM tuners as good as they once did.
