    You have made a splendid choice.
    The T100 is built like a tank and sounds absolutely top drawer.
    I have a T101 which is easily the best tuner I've heard to date.

    Hi James,

    No mods to it as it worked perfectly - not even a crackle which says a lot about Accuphase build quality. I'll recap the PSU one day though.
    The T100 and T101 were not in production together IIRC and most feel that the T100 has the edge in sound stakes.

    If you follow this link and scroll down about half way you can see the internals of a 101 - the 100 is even better built :)

    It may well go cheap because of the missing glass - well worth a punt if in good working order.

    It's arrived

    My Accuphase T100 landed today ! well packaged ,i had to give it a little clean ,nothing serious though. It looks realy retro in the flesh . I had a listen and wow oh my god !! it sounds so good !! lovely soundstage .
    Nearly as good as my Vinyl set up and heaps better than i thought radio could ever sound .I listened to R2 Big band playing and have to say its has got some awesome bass .The double bass sounded like it was in my room,this is from a recorded broadcast too so it can only get better with a nice live broadcast.Shame it arrived too late for the proms.As you can tell im realy pleased......James
