for the FT-101A

I owned a FT 101A Etude for a few years. I thought it was good until I bought a Sansui TU-717 and a Sansui TU-515. Even stock the Sansuis had a richer fuller sound than the 101A. There was more bass and lower end in the Sansui. I ended up modifiying and upgrading the Sansuis, they are far superior to the 101A in my opinion.

Product Weakness: There are much better vintage tuners available for a lot less.
Product Strengths: It's an OK Tuner
