Best Receivers

[rbenn]

Anyone have any thoughts on which classic boxes had the best receivers? Were there certain mfrs that made better receivers than others? Any specific boxes known to have good receivers?

Thanks,

Randy

The Telefunken Studio 1 or 1M's tuner is probably the best. Good selectivity/sensitivity with
a very high signal to noise ratio when compared to all other boxes.

Keep in mind that these boxes are getting old and certain electronic components
within the tuner will eventually drift out of spec which will hinder performance.
You can have two identical boxes with different results due to one of tuners
being misaligned more than the other.

the Sharp GF 777's have AMAZING tuners with fine tuning knobs. Great short wave too!

The JVC M90 and M70 have excellent tuners as well....but my favorite is my Sanyo M-X920. The sound and reception are second to none.

This has the best reception of all my boomboxes by a huge margin.

It's a Silver Space Master II.



Rock On.

I personally don't think the Studio 1 is all that great.

My best is the JVC rc838jw.........I can pick up a few stations from China & Taiwan

hitachi 8600 picks up strong and clear picks up way way better than my m70 and the sanyo 9996 which i thought they were good or my 767 which is proberly the same as a 777

The M90 and M70 for sure. I'm in Brampton Ontario, and I can pick up a few Detroit/Buffalo stations, clearly

My Pioneer boxes have extremely good tuner sections, always been impressed with Pioneer tuners.
