“Great sounding Tuner , better than their older model RT- 1080. RDS feature is a big plus and so is the Led signal display. It looks perfect sitting on top of my new
Yamaha A- S501 . The antenna that came with the Rotel tuner is the best.”
“A good tuner, like the discontinued TEAC that this replaced, and like the discontinued NAD 427 new and unopened in original box in my closet, can render musical passages with all the fidelity of a good broadcast signal. This new Rotel is an audio disaster, hard-edged, unable to render nuance or full harmonics, much less soundstaging. Not only that, but build quality is skimpy. To tell the truth, I bought it only because unlike the others, if comes in silver and I can't afford high-end pieces like a used Accuphase. Guess I'll pull out that 427 and get it going. Better having high fidelity in black than low fidelity in silver. This will be traded in on my next upgraded component purchase -- if any reputable dealer will have it. Maybe they can pass it down to somebody who just wants talk radio.”
Thank you for your review. We've sold a bunch of these tuners and the majority of customers like the sound & performance. Sorry you did not. We will be in touch to arrange for you to return for a refund.
