A Tuner In Your System?

[djwhog]

I have a Carver tx11a that is the top of their line in the day, was rated very well, but out here in WY we have like 3 stations, so I packed it up for safe keeping. Even have a terk signal booster too

I guess if you count my McIntosh MX117 Tuner/Preamp and my Sansui TU-717, I have a total of five tuners, 3 FM only and two AM/FM.

And put it where?

djwhog....I remember the Carver TX-11 Tuner well, it came as part of a long line of interesting Carver products in the early 1980's. I was tempted to buy one at the time but never pulled the trigger. During those days I was using my Sansui TU-717.

Genalex Gold Lion 12AX7's from Analog Tubes arrived Thursday, so this morning it was time to roll out the Sovtek's that came with my MD-108 tuner and fire up the GL's. After only a couple hours of listening time, this has already become one of my favorite tweaks ever. Right away there's a whole new level of depth, openness and clarity, as if a window has been opened into the music. The FM air waves have never sounded this good to me, long live analog FM

Pete do you recall the ol 9090 Sansui and Technichs made a 330 watt per ch receiver with dual power supply's, it was like over 2k back in the 80s. I had one and enjoyed it for years after I sold a kenwood I purchased as a tene, man it was hug a whole 60 watts a ch, I was the king on the block, most were lucky to have 25 watts... funny huh..

here is a link to the best of them in the day for receivers.

I had a Pioneer 100 watt, then upgraded to a Yamaha, but returned it to Federated in a week and went with the Technichs unit.

Was a beast for what it was, my buddy Doug I sold it to still has it and it works fine

Oh yes, I well remember the monster receivers of the late 70's and early eighties. There were some real beauties on the market.

Lets not forget the Pioneer SX-1280 and the Marantz 2325....

Sorry typed the wrong prefex while in a hurry.
Yes the TU717 has amazing sound.

I have my new to me, MR78 that I really love, and I have one of those inexpensive Sony HD tuners. I had the Sony modified, and it actually works really well.

I also have a Yamaha Tuner, I haven't used in years.

Everything takes a backseat to my MR78 at the moment.
