  is the same without the dolby. a most DIRECT sounding tuner. like listening to the studio board. i miss mine, it failed decades ago. built like a tank and a true high end product.

  the best sounding tuner i ever had.

    I have a 15 and find it a very good tuner. I bought it on ebay and it said powered up, untested. Well now I know that means, doesn't work. Only spent $50 bucks for it so was willing to take a chance. Had it fixed by a former HK technician relatively inexpensively and now have a great tuner. Very quiet and lots of sensitivity. I know dolby fm units came in in the early 70s, but are there any stations broadcasting dolby? Is there any other use for the dolby feature?

      only was good for stations that broadcast in dolby. the citation 14 had an additional gang of tuning capacitors and therefore was theoretically a more robust tuner.

      nothing wrong with the 15!
