튜너를 이것저것 써보다보니 외국 사이트에서참조를 하는데 그것도


다 맞는것도 아니고 이놈저놈 틀리게 평을 해대서 그냥 참고만하는데


그것들을 잠시 옮겨봤습니다. 상기튜너에대해떠드는걸...규격이라도


참고하세요..


써본결과 저의 기준튜너인 럭스만t-110 에 비해선 고음색이 덜살아있고


산수이919에 비해선 저역이 모자랍니다.하지만 자연스러운 음색인듯


수신강도는 표시되는 시그날 스트렝스는 최상이지만 전 이것을 잘


믿지않는경향이라..수신강도는 919와 비슷..스테레오분리도는 괜찮은정도


입니다.재밌는기능은 디머스위치가 있어서 광도가 약간 줄어드는스위치가


뒤에 위치해있습니다.

TOP OF THE LINE


Kenwood 600T and 650T(late 1970's)


- predecessor of the KT-917


- used can cost $500+


- 8 gang front end


- 12 element IF (3 4-pin 4-staged filters), so difficult to modify since 3 pin ceramics not used


- double balanced mixer minimizes harmonics and spurs


- 650T said to be identical to the 600T, but w/ a bronze face. Rare!





Kenwood KT-917 (1980-1982)


- list price new was $1100; used can still cost $500-$750


- 9 gang front end


- excellent signal/noise ratio


- double balanced mixer minimizes harmonics and spurs


- 3 IF settings; deviation/multipath meter along


- difficult to modify IF section, as it uses 4 pin filters, not "traditional" 3 pin ones


- read a more detailed review





Kenwood KT-8300 (and KT-9900) (late 1970's)


- 6 gang tuner, it rates well w/ the KT-815 and KT-7500


- 5 IF filters, but difficult to modify the IF due to 4 pin filters


- sells for $175 - $250 used


- KT-9900 said to be a bronze-faced European version of the KT-8300; one KT-9900 seen on eBay 5/2002





Sansui TU-X1 (1980)


- rated "better than the TX-9800 but worse than the KT-917" by one user


- sold for ~$1000 new, can be found for $750+, though rare and sometimes for more money


- was meant to compete with the KT-917


- heavy (40 lbs)





Yamaha T-85 (digital model from 1986-1989)


- 9 gang front end, so overload resistant


- 5 (or more?) IF filters


- recommended by several DX'ers due to it's overload rejection capability


- digital tuner, has fine tuning in .01 MHz steps


- see some of the T-85's specs

Kenwood KT-8300 (1977, $380, photo, inside, audio section 1, audio section 2, RF section, circuit description and adjustments) - The KT-8300 is a great tuner, very sensitive and selective even when unmodified. It has the classic Kenwood silver-faced styling, a powerful front end with a 6-gang tuning capacitor, and fantastic sound. It was one of Don Scott's 뱑eference?tuners and, in a 1989 Stereophile issue, he said it had the best sound of any tuner made since 1977! The KT-8300's front-panel features include a button to switch the combination multipath/deviation meter, a wide/narrow IF bandwidth button, MPX filter switch, variable output knob and two levels of muting (or muting off). On the back panel, there are fixed and variable RCA outputs, scope outputs, an FM de-emphasis switch and a dimmer on/off switch. Inside, you'll find two independent filter paths, very much like a 600T (which it somewhat resembles) but without the 뱈iddle?path. The KT-8300 uses two 4-pole linear phase LC filters for the wide IF bandwidth setting and three 4-element ceramic filters for narrow mode. The KT-8300 is tricky to modify for DXing because the ceramic filters are the older 4-pin type, rather than the common 3-pin type. See how one stock KT-8300 sounded compared to other top tuners on our Shootouts page. The KT-8300 usually sells for $220-380 on eBay, but well over $400 is possible for a nice one. The all-time highs were $511 in 7/03, $480 in 5/04, and a stunning $610 in 4/04 for a mint one with manuals. See the 600T vs. KT-917 page for Bob's quick comparison between the 600T and the KT-8300. Our Kenwood group on Yahoo has a Kenwood brochure page describing the KT-8300, and on our main Yahoo site our contributor Ryan C. comments on how audiophile mods transformed his KT-8300. [BF][EF][JR]
