The following represents my opinions only (but you can check the specs yourself). I just purchased a few YAMAHA components for my stereo (specifically the A-1020 integrated amp and the T-1020 tuner). The amp comes with full recommendations. The sound is, well, nice. The tuner represents an insult to the audio industry. What ever happened to the days of the T-2 or T-7 when YAMAHA made the best tuner in the world (one of the T-2 or T-7, I can't remember)? Although the T-1020 is one of the most sensitive that I've touched, the sound that it puts out is so bad that my mono clock radio does better. I think that it takes a lot of gall to sell what is claimed to be a good tuner (next to the top of the YAMAHA line) which puts out signals bettered by that of the bottom of the line receiver. What gives? I have returned my tuner to YAMAHA and recommend that no one even think of considering to by that (or any derivation) tuner. Maybe I should consider picking up the STG7 tuner by Technics?
