How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ???

Had those mac tuners too, not bad just dont like the fat flabby bass.
mids and top end ok.

but in my opinion still not in the 109's league.

the comment about never spend $9000 Canadian or $7000 US
on a tuner is missing the point!

the question is how can a tuner out perform a turntable ?

my friends and I have more than 10,000 in table, and am shocked it dosn't seem to sounds good as his tuner109?

peace.

I know when I had the tubed Scott 4310 tuner I was stunned how it bettered my digital and vinyl sources. Currently my MDyna 101 serves the purpose- but it's no Scott. I'm not surprised to 109 is a great tuner, it ought to be for the price.

Yes, your right! it ought to be for the price! but the sad thing is most of my hiend friends have more money invested in their vynal riggs :>(

I am shocked by this finding, and wanted to spread the word/ because I wish I would have known this before investing so much in vynal !!!

True, what is said about the disadvantages of listening to
radio stations; that you have to listen to commercials
and you cant choose what song you want to hear when you want it, but from a hiend audiophile perspective,

its a shocking revelation to me that the tuner is the highest quality source in two channel.!
this coming from a tuner/radio hater!
the only saving grace is that living in Toronto, we have many high quality radio stations, and can flip from station to station using the remote.

there I said it,

it really bruses my ego thou

I suppose it is a shock for anyone who thinks vinyl is the top of the food chain. Gawd man! Don't ever listen to a good R2R! ;-)

Maybe those good FM stations tossed out their CD and record players and are using all reel to reel as their source or perhaps even miking their own all live performances? How do they fit the symphony orchestra into that studio though?

Another possibility is that maybe the table setup isn't that good or set up properly or that the recordings being played aren't recorded very well either?
