Summary:
Hello,

it's a special honor for me to write the first review on this very nice piece of equipment. The manufacturer "Audio Refinement" isn't really well known by the usual audio hifi fan, but all of their equipment should be worth a try!

I use the Complete Tuner since about half a year and am very, very happy with it! I used some other tuners before but this beats them all in all ways. It has 14 preset memory buttons, AM/FM band and auto/manual tuning mode - that's it.

But it does what not every tuner can: It sounds very, very nice! Beautiful wide and deep soundstage, cristal clear voices exactly from between the stereo-loudspeakers. That's audiophile equipment at it's best!

If you see this tuner, do yourself a flavor and give it a try! It really sounds that good, and it has a nice optics, too.

Strengths:
Sound!, optic, very heavy built, golden jackets etc. - very audiophil!
It even beats my Tandberg Receiver TR-2080, I didn't hear a better tuner in my lifetime! and that for really small money....

Weaknesses:
Three feet are not the classical look of a tuner and doesn't match to each other unit, but that's not a problem if you can put them separated in a rack...

Similar Products Used:
Marantz, Onkyo, Tandberg (TR-2055, TR-2075, TR-2080) etc.

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
