     About two months ago I asked for some advice on tuners.  The
suggestions I received were excellent (NAD 4150, Pioneer F-90, SONY).
Unfortunately, I cannot find these tuners in the New York City - Long Island
area.

     I have seen the JVC T-X55 tuner for ~ $220.  It appears to be a
worthy unit, but I have been dissapointed by a JVC tapedeck and
turntable which I purchased 2 years ago.  Any comment?

     The Carver TX-11 is available for $475 (maybe less with haggling).
This is about twice what I'd like to spend, but I just might splurge if
it is really worth it.  I'm really trying to save my money to buy a
Beta or VHS Hi-Fi.  Let me know your opinions on the TX-11.

     I presently own a NAD 1020A Pre-Amp, a Carver M-400t power amp,
and a pair of AR 9LS speakers (the speakers were purchased while I was
a Teledyne employee at a bargain price ).

     When I finally buy a tuner I will share my thoughts with anyone
interested.

                                       Thanks,
                                                      Brian Bertan
