I'm new here and in the midst of trying to get a reasonably cheaply acquired Sherwood s-7200 back to full functionality. I have read a number of passing comments here about the quality of tuners in this model (and others like it). The tuner is all that is reliably working at the moment and I am loving it, but as part of my figuring out what I thought was a phono preamp problem I routed vinyl from a Dual 510 through a NAD 1130 preamp to the Sherwood... and it sounded appreciably muffled and limited compared to the openness and clarity of the FM sound. Perhaps other variables intervened, but I am hoping the phono will be at least as nice as the tuner when it is back in gear. That is all.
