cmk 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 Well since you guys were discussing tuners, I'd just tot someone might be interested. I'm using a DAB tuner for one of my systems. Sound is crystal clear. But it doesn't have all the radio stations yet. There are other interesting stations though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

augustineRS 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2004 another thing is, do all receiver have fm/am? im still running my current cdp from the headphone jack(no amps or recevier)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
augustineRS 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2004 another thought since no one response to the previous, if i get any of those old analog tuners off sungei road, possible to get the tarnished knobs or switches replace in singapore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zuglufttier 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2004 @augustinRS: Receivers actually consist of an integrated amp and a tuner. All newer units do have am/fm reception. Mostly standalone tuners are way better than integrated ones. But nowadays there aren't too many good tuners around for little money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
