Tuner Recommendation for New York City

Why not a tuner from New York City. Try the Fisher FM-1000 broadcast monitor. Designed originally as an industrial piece to use in radio stations to monitor broadcast quality. Unreal sensitivity and selectivity with a monster capture ratio to boot. Tons of tubes including a nuvistor. These are right up there with the Marantz 10B. And what better tuner to use in the town with Avery Fisher Hall than Avery Fishers own tuner?

While I don't live in NYC, I do live in Chicago and expect we have similar problems. I recently upgraded to a Fanfare FT-1A from a very good Sony ES tuner. The Fanfare is much better for multipath problems and has balanced out. The balanced out was nice because it gave me something to use my standby cables that I've "outgrown" on. As always the best way to find out is to try as many as you can get your hands on in your particular dwelling. The multiple antennae sampling situation could make it more of a complex test. But, it certainly would be best to find the greatest combination that you can afford and live with prior to purchasing. Best Regards, Aaron
