Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: New Project- Scott LT-112B

I thought about seeking out a tubed Scott, but I have a Dynaco FM-3 restoral project already, so I figured to try a solod state Scott to avoid any risk of tube hassles.

I am listening to the 112B as I type this. It sounds the best of all my tuners. However my choice classical station - 89.7 KNLV - is a bit too weak at 550 watts and 29 miles away- even with my 5 element yagi antenna and line of sight to the transmiiter - to provide hiss-free fm stereo to the Scott. So I am listening in mono.

Probably it could use an alignment and that might help the stereo reception.

After just an afternoon of listening however, I can say that that the Scott sounds better - even in mono - than any other tuner I have (Pioneer F90,Sony ST-J75,slightly modded Sony XDR-F1HD).

From bass to mids to treble, the Scott sounds great. Midrange to die for, Bass is solid, weighty and deep, treble sweet and extended without sibilance.

I guess I will be listening in mono at least until I get the Dynaco restoral completed...
