Tromatic,
Congrats on that. There are scores of tuners that are not mentioned in TIC and scores of them are as good if not better than the ones that they listed and evaluated.
It is a great site and the work that was/is put into is phenominal and appreciated, no doubt. However, a tuner not being listed means zilch.
If you like it, it is great.

There are many very good tuners that are not on that site.

got pics of the 5500? I'd love to see it.
I'm a happy owner of the 5900 and the 717.

We know.
Too many tuners, not enough time.
The write-ups come from members who post their impressions of a particular model in the forum.
We are always looking to expand our knowledge base, of course.
If you have (or have had) experience, either good or bad, with a particular tuner, why not join the group and tell us about it so we can increase our knowledge base?

I am a member, and need to do that. I only wish it was not so hard to navigate Yahoo forums. Could just be me, I guess.

At least in reading and responding to messages, I have mine sent to me by email. Looks like any other newsgroup or mail list that way (using Agent as my email client).
For the rest of it- files, photos, etc- yeah, you have to dig through the site. But I don't find that hard.

I have been fortunate to have had a number of really nice tuners pass through my ears. The 5500 is right up there, I think. The three stations here in town that don't mangle their signal sound very nice.

And the tuners in their vintage receivers were equally good.
We have two (2) Sansui 2000A receivers in two different spare bedroom systems and the tuner in this inexpensive receiver is simply amazing. :thmbsp:
Great sound, excellent sensitivity, and good adjacent channel selectivity. The tuner in this vintage receiver is light years ahead in performance over the cheap IC chip tuners now used in even the most expensive A/V receivers.
