the record spot:Hughes123:Sorry, I was asking Mr.Clough, but that Sansui is very sweet! It's a shame this Meridian isn't analogue! But it has a digital signal strength meter, so it's still well equiped...how many gangs is the TU-317?
Can't recall offhand - it's either three or four; I'll need to check fmtunerinfo for confirmation.
Fmtunerinfo never cease to amaze me with their expansive knowledge of practically every tuner! Have you checked out their shootout? Apparently at the end of all the shootouts, the Meridian came 13th I believe out 84...not bad in my books!
Edit: Just looked, the Sansui has three gangs and two filters (hope I got that right) and the very similar TU-217 came 67th out of 84, which is still pretty good! Apparently, it has "Good sound when reception is strong"!
Also, the Meridian has "Good bass, excellent midrange with smooth, just-right highs"...I can't wait to get it...but it's going to be two weeks away as I'm on holiday tommorrow for two weeks...TWO WEEKS WITHOUT MY HI-FI...WHAT SHOULD I DO?
(Looks discontentively towards the i-POD.)
