Have for sale a very nice Sansui TU-D99X Tuner. Has some scratches on the top, nothing that a can of Krylon can't solve, clean front panel. All buttons and features work fine. Just went tube crazy and will be using a Sherwood in its place. Here is what FM Tuner Info said about it..
"The TU-D99X has way above average sensitivity and good sound, with nice solid bass. It also has a "super linear digital decoder" (SLDD) circuit, an advanced MPX decoder with 38 kHz harmonic cancellation that eliminates the need for an anti-birdie filter.
The TU-D99X is very thin and its multicolored LED signal meter is a little funky, making it a unusual-looking piece overall. However, Bob observes that there's a fine line between a "cool-looking" and "Mickey Mouse" appearance, and says: "The display, if you are used to meters, can be very non-informative. It is not a businesslike display - it is more like a toy, that is, different. Yes, the colors are 'cool,' but it looks like a toy compared to say a T-9090II or 600T that actually convey useful information about signal strength. The TU-D99X is still a very quiet unit that has reception capability that may not be far off from a TU-919." Bob adds that the 99X has better inherent adjacent channel capability than the TU-S9. The 99X "is actually an incredible circuit, not found in any other tuner except the TU-S77X/TU-S77AMX." See how one TU-D99X sounded compared to other top tuners on our Shootouts page. The TU-D99X usually sells for $75-130 on eBay, with a bizarre high of $235 in 1/05 as two crazed bidders ran it up from $106".
Nice unit and a nice price at $60 shipped CONUS. Prefer paypal but....:biggrin:

I live in Canada and I expect it will cost more to ship it. So I will pay any extra costs that may occur.
