Frequency Modulation Very High Frequency 87.5 - 108.0 MHz


(200) Aesthetically similar to Marantz high-end SACD players and at its price whats more to ask? remote? yes it doesn't come with remote...inconvenient though, but I have enough remotes in the house...its sound is slightly laid-back, relax mode, typical current marantz receivers character, stock white/red cables sounds thin...to turn this fella into a tuner to die for...you need interconnects like the Ortofon 6.7N-AC 50 (200) and JPS Labs GPA-2 powercord, which incidently I have spare pairs lying around...with the cables added there's noticeably more PRAT and resolution and more WARMTH.

The ST6003 FM/MW stereo analogue tuner combines high-quality audio components for the best sound with functionality and ease of use – virtually guaranteeing drift-free reception. The ST6003’s RDS tuner means you can tune by frequency, or by programme type, and behind its solid aluminium front panel sits a high-sensitivity front-end. The new, full dot-matrix display ensures the frequencies, and radio data – such as traffic/news flashes – are clearly displayed. Extra controllability is also available via Marantz D-Bus. From the manual frequency, direct input and triple IR-code possibilities open up, so when using one, two, or three tuners within the same set-up are available.

(180) JPS Labs GPA 2 power cord...This is the beginner to their ultimates; The Digital AC and The Aluminata AC.  If you've not tried, it means your system isn't maxed-out.  You'll ask what's so great about these cables?  They aren't great but they hurl you with its revealing transparency and PRAT...

Kenwood L-02T (1982)

The L-02T is big, heavy and industrial-looking cosmetically. The L-02T is sonically the best stock transistor tuner I've listened to in my system. It has very good bass and a rich, full midrange, not rich or full like a tubed Mac MR 67 but a more neutral sound as you would expect from a transistor tuner. The treble isn't hot or irritating but does have some extra sibilance due to all those old electrolytics in the signal path. The audio stage uses four 8-legged op-amps (4564 DA) supported by four 16-legged op-amps (MB84066B).
