Anyone have a Cambridge Audio am/fm tuner they want to part with? Black faceplate preferred. I need one to match my CA 550 integrated. I would consider any tuner with a black faceplate, such as Marantz, Yamaha, Parasound, etc. Thanks!

    Digital is preferred. Doesn't need to do HD radio, however the convenience of a remote would be nice. I like to listen to the local radio stations while working in my home office. My NAD receiver went up in classic audiophile smoke. Not sure it is fixable. I have a CA 550 integrated that I can use, however just need a tuner to pair it with.

    I have a Hafler Iris tuner. It doesn’t check your boxes except that it’s black. I’ve been meaning to try to sell it, but figured there would not be much demand. It’s sitting in it’s original box in the garage. Let me know if you might be interested and I’ll get pics of it.

    YEP I should have bought a case of them when BB was selling them for 85.00. They went up in price pretty good for a long time. Looks like that one is OK priced. I'd be on just to have but I'm having some dusty pocket moments for a minute :smile:

    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    You might keep an eye out for older NAD tuners. They are highly regarded especially the 4155 which I happen to own. There are several on Ebay as I write this. They are very sensitive and quite musical with great bass reproduction. I have mine connected to a large rooftop tv antenna and it is a reception monster. They also have a nice dark grey faceplate which should match your gear well.

    I have a Parasound Tuner I just purchased here about 3 months ago. Never took it out of the box. Willing to sell it if you're interested. Pretty sure its black.

    Thanks everyone. I decided to go with the Marantz M-CR612 unit for my office. I has a tuner, internet radio, DLNA connectivity for my music server, and a CD player.
