Good reception but not so great sound quailty

Advantages: Good reception, switch between narrow and wide bathwidths, plenty of presets
Disadvantages: Poor MW reception, sound quailty is not the best in the world

This is a great tuner which offers clearer reception of weak FM stations, the sound quailty is a bit harsh thought but reception is very good on FM, you can switch between narrow and wide mode, which means you can bring in a weaker station even if it is close by to a much stronger station, it only dose this satisfactory thought so don't be getting to excited. I have had the radio for around 4 years now and like with other radios of this type the ...
...still be used because it has something called direct frequency access, which means you can just type in the frequency using the preset buttons on the front. Theres allso many RDS features, special searches which can be performed to search for types music, types of program, , I must admitt i've never used to them thought, I just wanted the radio to improve the reception and it did that quite well. Althought there is much that could be improved apon ...

Tivoli model one

Advantages: Excellent sound and ease of tuning
Disadvantages: No DAB or longwave

Dont let the looks deceive you,this radio is fantastic. The sound quality is outstanding and will fill most rooms with an unbelievable quality of sound. The tuning mechanism is a delight with a geared control knob which allows accurate tuning with the aid of a magic eye tuning indicator. The use of real wood cabinet enhances the look with a bass port at the rear. There is no tone control but this really is not a problem because the sound has excellent ...

DABtastic

Advantages: Cheap DAB upgrade
Disadvantages: Not everyone can get a signal

...seperately. A few pounds normally. Matsui recommend acquiring the lead from partsmaster (0870 600 1338) but it would be cheaper elsewhere. It will attached to any audio product that has an auxillary input such as hi-fi systems, DVD home theatre systems and CD cassette players. It is well packaged in a box that contains the unit and a remote control. As is usually the case the remote control requires batteries which are not included. It takes 2 ...
...the device where you want it and plug in the leads to the hi-fi and also the power lead which is via an adapter. Position the aerial which is a long wire to pick up the best signal. I find straight up is best in my locality, i secured it to the wall using sticky tape and this picks up a good signal this way. Turn on the power then use the remote control to search for the stations available in your particular area. Once stations have been found ...

Micromega Minium FM Tuner

Advantages: Superb sound quality and very simple to use
Disadvantages: None

On the recommendation of a HiFi dealer, I purchased this Tuner. He informed me that the essential electronics used were the same as those used in a £1000 tuner hence giving the same sound quaity. When I took it home and turned it on, I was not disappointed. I use it with an Audiolab 8000 pre and power amp and a pair of Proac Studio Mk1 speakers. Listening to the Proms isn't quite as good as being there, but it's close enough that I don't feel I have ...

Going for a song...

Advantages: AWESOME reception and sound, superb construction, attractive finish,easy to use
Disadvantages: DISCONTINUED,No DAB signal or Kbs strength indicator (see review)

...long been a fan of Sony products especially their HiFi Seperates of which I own several (see my other reviews) but back in September 2007 I stumbled across the Sony ST-D777ES tuner in the Solihull Sony Centre at an incredible price. Being interested in Hifi for a while, I was aware of the the Sony ES range (Extraordinary Standard-Sony's premium Hifi and AV products) and owning this particular model had been a dream. Now I'd acquired a Sony DAB tuner ...
...chance visit into the Solihull Sony Centre revealed a dusty,folorn Sony ST-D777ES tuner for the princely sum of....£99.97. £99.97??!!! For a tuner which should be costing £700? Sadly, the Sony Centre concerned weren't so good, I had to make several calls and a return journey to Solihull to collect the box and instuctions, but ultimatly the hassle was well worth it, I'd saved over £600 and consequently didn't kick up my customary stink when seved ...
