Looking for Misc Audio Deals of the Day? Updated info here!

[billbillw]

Actually I am looking for a tuner. I don't care about a remote. I listen to one station. Something that sounds good, and locks in good is what I am looking for. I liked my Adcom tuner. Been watching flea pay every once in a while. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'd just find a 'sparrow feed' digital tuner. Look at FMTunerinfo for ideas. There are so many good quality digital tuners that end up going for $50 or less on Ebay. Yamaha, Pioneer, Denon, Sony ES, all have good models that go cheap. They also have crappy models too, so do your research.

The reason I'd say go with digital is because most older analog tuners will need an alignment/restoration to give you their full potential. A tuner alignment cannot be done without special equipment and knowledge. I don't care how good of a DIY'er you are, Tuner alignment is a different boat.

On the other hand, most digital tuners from the late 80's/early 90's will be fine without an alignment.

Some recommended models:
Sony ST-S550ES or basically any of the ES tuners. Just beware of the models that have the 'audio current transfer' outputs because they have a special output cable.

Yamaha TX-5xx, or TX-7xx. The 5xx models go pretty cheap and are fine quality.

Pioneer models starting with F (there is a model F-445 on ebay right now that is almost too cheap to pass up)

Or, just about any Onkyo model. There is a T-4017 ending in a few hours that is only bid to $10. I had a T-407 that was fabulous. Stay away from the really low end models though (check FmTunerinfo)

That was quick.

Remember the Radio Shack speakers with the Linaeum tweeter? Here's your chance to get some Toshiba-branded floor-standing speakers with the same tweeters for $170.00

What's the deal with those tweeters? I've never heard them. Are they something good? I see them pop up on Seattle CL from time to time...

I'm listening to the SDA/HAFLER setup.
I'm really surprised how well the 2.3 and the Hafler Dh500 sound together.
I'm currently listening to Roger Water's The pros and cons of hitchhiking.
This is a very dynamic recording that's brutal to amplifiers.
The hafler is able to drive the 2.3 cleanly with alot of punch and dynamic range.
I will keep the hafler gear and sell the 2.3tls. Anyone interested?

[schwarcw]

Ed, do you new Hafler amps have a fan?

You are in NYC right?

[ESavinon]

yes and yes.

[schwarcw]

The DH500 is a nice amp. I wasn't sure if they all had a fan. Hafler use to do a nice mod to that amp to make it smoother, quieter and a little more power.

[ESavinon]

I will look online for any mods available.

[George Grand]

There was a bridging kit available from Hafler for the DH-500 also.

I had one of those (the amp) and sold it to Harold, my sharp neighbor Ted Jackson's son. He's the one who tried to chase down one of those kits, but to no avail. He bought it from me to drive the Amazing Silvers that I found for him. It sounded just fine in stereo mode driving them.

I got that thing and a DH-110 pre at the same time. Every DH-110 I ever had exhibited reliability issues, but sounded great when they worked.
