Tuner addiction

Most definitely. Her ears are much more sensitive than mine, she says it's the best SS tuner I've had... and I agree.

Since you introduced the subject: What’s the best tube tuner you’ve had? And what other SS tuners have you had?

I’m just curious, since the Sequerra is often mentioned as among the top five ever made. And have you heard the reissue?

I’m also curious about its strengths: reception? SQ? My MR78 is extremely sensitive and powerful. But my brother’s MR71 is sweeter sounding.

One of the values of "collecting" is that comparisons can be made to decide what you want to keep. Had I not collected so much, I would have never found this relatively rare jewel.

The t35 gets good reviews as well and has a 4 gang analog tuner.
It also has a unique digital display that moves as you tune the dial.I want one of those.

No doubt, the Marantz 10b. Don't know if you noticed the one I have sitting above the Sequerra in my photo.

Others... Marantz 20, 20b,120b,125,150, Kenwood 917, SAE mark VI, (still have them all and rotate them in and around, except for the Sequerra). I'd rate the SAE, Sequerra and 10b as 'top tier' sonically. All my stations are close by so I don't know how any of them do with distance and other specs.

No, although I had their 'broadcast monitor' for a couple of months on loan from a very good friend to buy if I wanted it. It was good but not as good sounding as the original "1".

All of them great SQ wise with my 'top tier' being best.

btw, and shared with you, I have a 275-6 and C22-4 as my amp/pre in the living room system. My dog photo bombed the C22.
