The T403
tuner was designed with a single goal in mind musically. The traditional
attention that tuner designers give to a signal sensitivity cannot alone
provide accurate musical reproduction.
Maitaining phase linearity throughout the early tuning stages is of
criticalimportance because FM detectors transpose phase distortion of an
incoming signal directly into harmonic and intermodulation distortion. Each
operating section if the T403 is carefully designed and engineered to achieve
optimum phase linearity.
The T403 is
sensitive and selective - and it is quiet. Noise, perhaps the most important
element decreasing from tuner performance, falls to an inaudible -70 dB.
The
unconventional"summing' meter used in the T403 combines signal-strength
and center-of-channel tuning in a single, integrated roading that is more
accurate and easier to usse than sseparate meters. Also unconventional are the
features of the T403 - features usually found only on far moreexpensive tuners,
adjustable muting, variable output level, detector output (for possible four
channel use), and 75 Ω (including
coaxial input), and 300 Ω antenna
connections.
The T403
Sensitivity, selectivity extraordinary signal-to-noisse ratio, phase linearity
and its superior sonic performance, make it an ideal companion for the A402
amplifier or for any high quality component.
