Default Tuner query

Hi,
I have a Denon analogue tuner and an an old (but excellent) AR amp. I have
acquired a Sony XDL 40W3000 LCD TV and a sony HDR with Freeview. Both the
later of course give digital radio reception. My question is which one to go
for for listineing to the radio (particularly classical music)

Thanks
Gordon

I would suspect the dedicated Denon tuner might be better for listening to
classical. The FM tuner functions in the other pieces are likely to be
perfunctory at best. For background music or really non-critical listening
the others would be OK. This is just generic advice and supposition on my
part however - I have no direct experience with either of your models. I own
about ten or twelve separate tuners and several receivers; I don't think I'd
trade the performance of any of them for the secondary FM function of a TV
or HDR.

It is very much dependant on signal quality (i.e. multipath, overload, etc.)

In difficult signal conditions old purely analog tuners are often vastly better.
But modern digital ones can sound perfect with very good signals. You
have to listen carefully and decide yourself.
