Well, next time you're in town, let me know. I'll have you over for a listen and a few drinks.
Does your sound system include a tuner?

No tuner in my system. But if I would want one I'd go for the tuner reference of all times: the Metric from Restek.

Nice looking chrome faceplate. Reminiscent of EAR products by Tim de Paravicini. I've not heard of that tuner. Was it sold in the U.S.?

I am not sure if it was sold in the US. The company Restek is still active and has several tuners in its portfolio.

The tuner in question is designed by Mr. Reinhard Wieschhoff-van Rijn. He is a legendary tuner designer who first worked for Fisher radio in New York and later designed tuners for Klein & Hummel, Revox and Restek.

Have I got a tuner? Yes!!
I don't listen to a whole lot of broadcast radio, though, just a couple of stations occasionally. More often today I listen to Internet radio.
My tuner is a very decent vintage Denon TU 767, circa 1985.
For many years I had an elegant Denon TU 500, circa 1978, but sold it for a fair chunk of change and bought the TU 767 for a small fraction of that.

Bill.......Yep, that Denon TU500 is sweet. You should have kept that one. Love the rotating dial log.
Well ... yeah, I probably should have kept it but the TU 767 has fulfilled my requirements quite well, so no serious regrets.
