What tuner?

[greg1292]

Just purchased a Pioneer SA-9500 that was recapped
and sounds great and am using a Kenwwod 2070 table
with Grado Gold 1 cartridge with great results.

I am now looking for a vintage tuner with good sound quality
to match the 9500 any suggestions.

I am really enjoying the old school sound.

Thanks Greg

A TX-9500 of course.

Does in matter if it is a series II or not?

Any tuner will work. Personal preferance is just if you want the matching tuner.

Get a Kenwood. They made great tuners.

Sony ST-5000. Sounds accurate like a CD on right station. Lower dollars? Scott LT-112B. Accurate sound like the Sony. Kenwood KT-990D- like above with a little softer sound, but accurate & more money than the Scott. I owned about 30 tuners, these are top picks.

Thanks for the great input. I am after quality for the buck and will look
for one of these tuners.

Thanks Greg

I have another suggestion. How about a Pioneer TX-9100? The wood adds a touch of class and they're easy to service.

The Pioneer TX 9500 is superb. The TX 9100 is another fine choice. No bad choices have been posted in this thread.

Thanks for all the replies you guy's have corrupted me just bought a AU-9900
Sansui so out with the Pioneer SA-9500. Tried finding the Sony will need to keep it on
the radar. Most likely will go for the Sansui TU-9900 and call it a day. Can't believe
how much fun listening to good audio is.
