Nearly all the performance of the much loved TX-9500 II at a fraction of the price. About as nice a 4 gang tuner as you will find. If I did not have one already, I would jump on it.

Wow, I'm really surprised it's still there... like you Dew, if I did not already have one... Shipping price is really fair as well. I'm pulling in stations on my TX-8500II from my basement better than any other tuner in the house !!! :thmbsp:
 
Thanks SO much for the tip off. I've been looking for this tuner for awhile waiting patiently. For that price, i'm also surprised it wasn't gone. It should be a great friend to my SA-8500 II. If it's as good as you guys insist and as i've heard, i will be one happy listener. Now the wait until it ships... :banana:
 
Dang....and I've got one sitting....

Seems like I need to get busy and post it......

Cheers,

David
 
<whew> I'm glad ya bought it... any longer and I would have had two of them !!! :nono:

Congrat's and welcome to AK Rommaster, your going to be in tuner bliss as soon as it is "married" with your matching SA-8500II !!! :thmbsp:
 
The 8500II is a good daily driver but some distance from the 9500 and 9500II I have had all of them. In my mind the best sounding one was the 9500 with the 9500II being slightly better for DXing and better for fine tuning.

I do agree that the 8500II is a fine tuner just not the TOTL. . . I would put an 8500II in my rack and not feel the least bit slighted. I think we listen to stronger stations anyway regardless which tuner we have and for the lower price that extra money would be well spent on amps etc. . .
