Hi, caffeinator!

It may interest you to know that I was at the original VTV Tuner "Shootout" and my picture appeared in that issue among the other evaluators.

There were really no scientific controls in that audition, however.

The Fisher FM-100-B is among the best sounding of all Fisher tuners and I should know. I have owned almost all of them in the past.

In fact, the best sounding tubed tuner I have ever listened through was a Fisher FM-100-B which I updated with some capacitors, but I sold it about five years ago to a nice person who never complained!

My current project is a Kenwood KT-8007. This is a tuner from about 1974 and believe me when I say this---IT SOUNDS TERRIFIC~!

Enjoy whatever pleases you--while conventional FM over-the-air broadcasting still exists. From then on it will be a probable dip in quality--sort of like MP-3.

Pretty soon, folks will no longer know what good sound reproduction really sounds like.

:-(

Ah, technology! One step forward, three and a half back.
I love reading about 24-bit / 192 kHz sampling, etc. which largely winds up on iPods. Talk about tossing the baby out with the bathwater?
