Got Tuner?

[Parsonsk]

I'm curious if you have a separate tuner in your system or if it's part of a receiver?

I'm looking for a new separate tuner for my system, any suggestions?

No experience w/ them,

I've "read" the seperate tuners work better than the ones in a receiver. Lot of different Brands out there to choose from......Fanfare.....Magnum Dynalab and many big name brands like Parasound etc.

Many of the old "vintage" receivers and are very affordable and have the classic good looks.

I use a separate tuner. I don't listen to radio much outside of the car, so I've just got an old Kenwood tuner.

Parsonsk, it REALLY depends on what you'd like to get out of the tuner. Are you looking for audiophile crystal clarity and willing to pay big $$$? Or just anything to pass a radio signal? Do you need RDS? (text data) Interested in satellite radio?

Receiver tuners in general aren't too bad, as long as you can hook up a decent antenna to it. You won't get any fancy functions, though.

I had a tuner but it was quickly replaced when my local telephone company started providing tv ... their tv has all the local radio channels. Now I use that for my tuner.

Oh yeah, the bonus .. its digital.

Maybe you can look into that?
