In Reply to: RE: What interesting good sounding tuner to buy? posted by Byrd69 on April 28, 2025 at 14:22:31
I like the suggestions. I had a small Lafayette SS once that was perfectly adequate. I have never tried a Macintosh or a Magnum Dynalab. Very curious about those.
The tube Scott or Bogen are inexpensive and there are many on US Audiomart now. Also a Luxman T-117!
Also a couple Sansui are available now.
I'll probably see if my technician will upgrade my Sherwood 3000. It's a favorite of mine.
Same with the Sony ST 5000F. My tech loved the quality of the build. The sound is good as is. But maybe good output capacitors would be good? IIRC he already replaced caps in the power supply. I just broke the antenna screw post on it in a moment of mentality lapse.
Yes, I'm a FM tuner nut because I listen to my tuner more than my excellent streaming system. My FM station plays a mix of music that i love. Cosmic county, Grateful Dead, Old-Time, alternative rock, jazz, and live in their studio sessions quite often. Thank you Braun and Linn and Byrd69.

Welcome back Ancient Tones. If you're close enough to WNCW transmitter, try a Sangean ATS-405 portable; connected to your amp via 3.5MM stereo plug into RCA male plug interconnects. Got a 405 a few years back to replace stolen Grundig portable. Shortwave reception was kinda on par with ATS-803A (Realistic DX-440), but stereo FM reception was crisp-n-clear through headphone output. You'll hear station's sonic signature, thanks to D.S.P.-chip. Then, when your tuners get back from tech, you'll have an enjoyable portable for outdoors and travel. ... 73s para Sactown
Wow! Cool idea FRG7SWL. I need a tuner for my main hi-fi stereo stereo system. I don't like the description of audiophile, but my stereo is quite that.
However, I loved looking at all of the Sagean radios that I was not aware of! The shower radio is interesting and I'll probably buy one.
I live in Asheville and did not have a battery powered portable radio after after hurricane Helene wiped out power, cell phone service, and of course internet and TV. We sat in the car twice a day to get updates on our local NPR station. I'll probably buy a Sangean portable. I can think of uses other than natural disasters. I have heard of Sangean and think positively of that brand.
Great ideas so far everyone! I will follow up and let you know what I buy which is looking like at least two radios now.
