Tuner advice

[Caughtthebug]

I'm going to start looking for a tuner for my spec collection. Out of the three tx9500, tx9500-2 and tx9800. Has anyone had a chance to compare any of them. I do listen to the radio a lot. Any advice would be appreciated.

I like all those tuners you won’t be disappointed with any of them you should onside right what you want to match it asthetically and have it refurbished I personally like the tx-9500ii the most I’ve had all three and find this one most reliable and sounds terrific good luck

This is an excellent place to research tuners:

Based on what I read here, I went for the TX-9500II. To me, it sounds fantastic and has been very reliable.

I think TX-9500II is the better design. Same FE as in the SX-1250.
Pray those PAxxxx chips hold out or you have some spares just in case.
