Here in Australia Mike the bandwidth for Internet radio is not very good, and well below that of Europe for example. Somehow I prefer the sound of an analogue tuner, and can only image how good a properly set up Accuphase must sound!

Like some of you I don't have a tuner in my system. I do in my HT system but only because my Onkyo receiver has a tuner. I much prefer XM radio now days as most of the old FM stations that I grew up with, now play todays rock music, which for the most part, I'm not into. Through my laptop, when I'm hooked into my two channel rig, I like to tune into stations in other cities. There is a great classical station from Vienna, Austria.

Tuners in my systems
Yes I have tuners in both systems. The bedroom system runs an NAD 4155 and the living room runs a Carver TX-2. The NAD tends not to hold the stations in the presets but that doesn't bother me. I rarely listen to the tuners. Both a lack of interesting programming and great sound from streaming music from my computers through my DACs. FM music stations in my area have come and gone. The ones more interesting to listen to are the experimental music stations and jazz stations from local schools and universities. We have one classical station. The smooth jazz station disappeared. Talk radio is increasing. The rest of the stations are popular genres with tons of commercials
The bedroom computer had the Tune in app loaded for Windows 8. I like the Linn stations and others. I stream from iTunes radio in the living room. I choose higher bit-rates. If I don't want to boot the computers, I can stream some stations from my iPod and Wadia iDocks. I have a few apps installed for stations I like. I've used the tuners to run interstation FM noise to help burn in new interconnect cables. |

Love my tuner, Sony XDR-F1HD. Not much that I like on the radio these days but listen to classical on the NPR HD station all the time.

I ran across this thread again today and realized that my tuner list was incomplete!
I have two Arcam T61's in service, both are black. These operate in my main and my 2-channel systems: My shop system consists of a Yamaha CT-810 tuner with it's well matched Yamaha CA-2010 amplifier. This is an awesome combination. The tuner likes dipole antennas much better than the amplified units. Others I have in service include: CT-410 in the home office CT-610 II as my alarm clock I have a CT-800 on the bench. I'm not sure I can revive it and it may be reduced to parts. I also have a CR-620 receiver performing FM duty in the wife's glass studio. Sadly, my MR77 has moved on. I'm regretting that decision at this point.

Very nice. I have the 107 and use it quite often for our local jazz station. MD makes great tuners.

Carver TX-11a. Works better than any station in the San Diego broadcast area.
