RE: Why am I a FM Tuner Nut?

In Reply to: Why Does My FM Tuner Sound Better Then The Rest Of My Audio Gear? posted by Vinylly on June 28, 2009 at 11:30:08:

Although some vintage tuners sound good, I think a mid quality CD player would outperform the tuner. The phonograph set up must have an issue.

Best stock SS tuner I heard is Rotel RT-950BX, but have not owned the top 10 at fmtunerinfo site. The Rotel aay outperformed a carefully realigned Pioneer F-90 and was actually better sonically than a stock Fisher KM-60 before mods installed. It is also about on par with my highly modded Eico 2200 except at the higher audio frequencies that are slightly but noticably muted like most SS tuners. On the other hand the Rotel has a super hot front-end and immunity to HD FM stations.

I think my praise here of these Rotel tuners in the last 4 months that 'flew under the radar' at $60-$70 average now are up around $120-$200.
