    Tuner Recommendation

    I am looking for a tuner to integrate into my 2-channel system. Unfortunately, I live in an area with relatively few FM stations and, as of yet, no HD stations. Sensitivity would be a critical factor to pick up weak signals. Also, compatibility with a satellite radio receiver and HD signals would be desirable options.

    Thank you for your help.

    Rotel makes a nice HD turner. Might want to check them out.

    Also, I'd just buy an FM signal booster to help out with the range. That would do better than trying to find a tuner that is more "sensitive" and picks up stations better.
    Digital Audio makes me Happy.

      Halo's T3 is a peach, and are reasonable on the used market.

          Speaking of Rotel....has anyone had experience with the RT-1084?

              FM Tuner Recommendation
              by kitjv
              I am looking for a quality FM tuner in the $1,000 or less price range. Having HD & satellite radio capabilities are important since I live in an area with limited FM stations. I am amenable to either SS or tubes. Which brands/models would be on your short list? Thank you kindly.

              1055 Tuner Problems
              by El Capitan
              My 1055 is giving me trouble with picking up stations higher than ~100.0 on FM.

              I have tried both my roof mounted antenna and the simple dipole that comes with the Rotel with the same results: it doesn't pick up these higher stations, and in fact, it will lock onto some station of a...

              Rotel Tuner RT-06
              by Ut Pictura
              Haven't found any threads about Rotel DAB Tuner RT-06.

              I have a Rotel RA-03 amp and RCD-02 cd player, with B&W 603Ss. Wanted to know what the experience has been with the above tuner - it is quite a lot more expensive than quite a few other brands, and I did read one complaint about...

              1067 Tuner memory RBDS bug
              by Bostonears
              When I went to program my favorite radio stations into the tuner of my 1067, I discovered a problem (and a workaround) if a station is broadcasting with RBDS (station info).

              Normally, if I tune a station (non-RBDS), when I push the Memory button on the front panel, I can enter a number...
