I just bought a Yamaha T-85, it is a really nice unit. Red LED, no vfd, which I like. Went over the design, it has one BP capacitor in the signal path/ch from the FM detector to the o/p. that one ecap/ch could be removed if one was to offset trim or servo the last opamp stage. Not too many tuners can make a claim of only one ecap in the sig path! Some people seem to care about the quality of the caps, not me really.
Sound wise, I'd say it was crisp, detailed, full ranged, great stereo imaging. Stereo decoder is a great. the CSL is a bit weird, bit once you program in your settings for each memory, it is fine.
Imagine a digital tuner with no search, one of a kind
I can see lots of places one could use newer component, but I really wonder if I would notice a difference. Like changing the NJM2068S opamps to say a NJM2114L, I doubt it.
All were properly aligned, the L-1000T is a very, very good tuner. This one is also set with the proper de-emphasis cap, some came to the US improperly set with 50uf European de-emphasis caps installed not the 75, which made them sound zippy.
If I owned a Sequerra I would be spending all my time fiddling with the spectrum analyzer and not even listening to the music.The Day Sequerra Studio is my best tuner with a Sansui TU-X1 being a close second.
How does the J75 compare to the sony xdr-f1hd?

Wanted a diversity version with the 390 IF module, but that never happened and I've divested of the inventory of this set.What, no love for this bad boy?!
Yes, I did use it as a tuner. Derived the audio from the detector stage using the "diode load" mod. Some of the finest-sounding AM and shortwave I've ever heard, especially with the bandwidth control set to 16kHz.
