New Toy FM Tuner
I have upgraded my tuner, the Quad FM4 has been replaced by a Magnum Dynalab
Etude, its recently been replaced by the MD100 so its out of date already.
I am very pleased, its sounds fantastic, took it apart (pictures of insides
on web site) not a lot inside.
Would have liked, one of the tuners that are valved, but they are silly
money.

The Etude is one piece of kit I wouldn't part with. A worthwhile cost
effective addition to the Etude is the 'signal sleuth', front end tunable
RFA that makes an already great tuner that bit better - & for the icing on
the cake maybe a mast mounted & steerable yagi array. (ok getting carried
away there).
I love listening to R3 live concerts on the Etude.... almost like being
there.

It's a while since I bough my sleuth but I remember in the region of £200 -
but IMO its worth its weight in gold.

Etude Vs Digital...an ABX test would be like a walk in the park.

Nice bit of 'Show N Tell' Dave! :-)
I too have had a little movement on the tuner front.....

......this little gem arrived yesterday - a gift from someone who no longer
wanted it and was going to bin it.
Playing right now on my new 'computer setup' (£50 Technics amp, £10 Eltax
bookshelf speakers from eBay) and sounding reet nice - mono, due to ****e
aerial situation atm......

Mono only, I presume?

Would you mind me asking how much your FM4 tuner would be worth on the
second-hand market in the UK? I have tried without success to buy an FM
tuner here in New Zealand for about 5 years now they are rarer than hens
teeth here.
My Quad 34/405 amp is celebrating its 20 birthday this year and still going
strong and I would like to get the tuner to go with it.
