I have an excellent Luxman T117 digital AM/FM tuner for sale.The front of the tuner is in good condition, but the sides and top have some minor scratches. The Luxman was listed as the 16th best tuner tested by the FM Tuner Guide. The tuners that were rated higher are either very expensive or unobtainable. The reviewer from the FM Tuner Guide Shootout stated that "...This little tuner left me in shock. I'm not a big fan of digital tuners, probably because of my age (56), tastes and history. I grew up around my grandfather's farm and my dad worked with radio for 20 years in the Air Force and was a ham. My younger days saw all kinds of meters bouncing and flashing at home, in the movies, etc. That style left a lasting impression, and that may be one of the reasons I've avoided digital tuners in the shootouts so far. But not anymore! I hooked up the Luxman, sat down to listen and got back up thinking I was listening to the L-02T. No, it was the Luxman! This is a very good-sounding tuner. After listening for a couple of days, here are my findings. A very pleasant sound, top to bottom. The T-117 gave up a little richness in tone quality to the L-02T in bass. Its midrange was very nice but the images didn't "float" in space as realistically as the L-02T's. The treble was slightly, just slightly, more forward of the L-02T's treble, and that treble difference wasn't noticeable on every song. If these sound like negatives, they're really not. If I hadn't heard and A/B'd the T-117 against the L-02T, I could be very happy with it as a keeper AND it's much more affordable. I went to TIC and re-read the writeup on the T-117, and I agree, without reservation." He concluded that the Luxman "...sounds better than a Magnum Dynalab FT-101 or any other stock Magnum I've owned or heard, and it costs less..." I'm asking $195 for the tuner plus shipping, or best offer. I accept PayPal but the buyer is responsible for paying their fees. I also accept USPS money orders. I will only ship within the US. I have great feedback on Ebay as Gelajoy (900+ rating at 100%.)
