Comments

• Comment by Rudi Schwarzinger: This tuner is one of the most underrated tuners. This tuner offers a reception and sound quality of the first order. I can say this because of years of experience. Over the last 10 years, I have seen a number of tuners (I haven't counted them, but it must have been about 50 to 60) come and go in my chain. Units from Yamaha to several Magnum Dynalab, Grundig, several "test winners" from Kenwood, the great Sansui, even tube tuners were among them. The Kenwood is definitely one of the top 5. Excellent unit and a big recommendation.
