Re: Best FM tuner ever made?

Hughes123:
What sort of price do the Naims fetch?

According to a recent 'worldly' hi-fi mag article...
"The NAT 01 in 2001 cost £1,945 new and now sells for £800 to £1,400 second-hand, depending on vintage."

A quick search shows that a 1985 (chrome bumper) model sold on Ebay recently for £500.

Cheers,
Tony

I have just bought a Cyrus FM7 which I think is great, but I'm sure it's not the best.

£45 got me a mint 1978 Sansui TU-317 - lovely sound on it. Maybe not up to the Nait or Quad, but at less than £50 it shows speech based DAB s thing or two!

(Radio 5 Live excepted for the footy...!)

I'll agree with Andrew - the Naim Nat01 - a good quality station sounds better than a CD, been a while since i heard one though.

I've got a Cyrus FM7 too. Agree with your sentiment. A wonderful, warm, natural sound. Had it a couple of years now & listen to it everyday. Utterly reliable Big Smile

reserve not met at 243 at time of posting... not mine I hasten to add.

hope this doesn't contravene any policy, just though someone might be curious

I love my 8000T - with a Magnum Dynalab ST-2 antenna of course (don't skimp).
