Just to make things clear, I have nothing against religious stations or religion in general. It's just not what I want to listen to. I prefer original hymns, not this new fangled, 20th century music. This also includes good ole' fashion classical music.
On to the tuners...
The Yamaha TX-1000 is supposed to be top notch stuff, just about the same as the T-85, one of the best tuners out there in the day, as for pulling in stations, DXing, etc, etc. Apparently, the Carver TX-11 line is as well. The only Carver tuner I ever heard was my brother's original TX-11, which at the time and on his system I thought sounded pretty darn good. But from what I have read, and why I hunted down a TX-11a, is because the newer ones are supposed to be a huge improvement in overall sound quality over the original model.
So far, you guys are recommending the Carver over the Yamaha, but why? No one is giving any explanation as to why.
I'm just curious. I mean, when it comes to Yamaha, it sounds to me like they had four top tuners over the years, the CT-7000, T-2, T-85 and TX-1000/2000. So theoretically, the TX-1000 I have should be a pretty darn good performer, labeled by many as the "audiophile" tuner.

One thing I liked about the Carver but the one that remember is the TX-11b from past memories back in the day is that this tuner could really pull in weak stations and lock them in and its quiet. Why not just get your Yamaha tuned up to peak performance its actually a winner.

I was thinking the same thing. You are splitting hairs I would think. The reason I said Carver is because back in the day the Carver was always considered one of the best tuners... it was sort of renowned... along with the Technics pro lineup. If I am recalling correct their was a company called Proton, and the Proton table radio was by far the most superior.... I believe Carver was one of the only companies that worked with Proton and used their circuits... but then again my old memory could be failing me...
