## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does a radio cost $250? how does this differ from the one on my Yamaha tsr 7790 bl receiver?**
A: It's a tuner, not a radio, just to get terminology correct.  Why does it cost $250?  Because it is not an expensive tuner, is really part of the answer.  They could perhaps sell it for less if the market for separate tuners were larger, as it was 40, 30, even 20 years ago.  But the market is fading, due to the vastly increased choices for music on the internet.  Streaming music of any genre these days, without commercials, is replacing home FM.  Most FM users are in their cars these days.  So manufacturers can only sell so many separate home tuners, but design and tooling up costs the same whether you build 100,000 units or a million.  If you sell fewer widgets, you must charge more per widget.  Really, how they sell it as inexpensively as they do is a more logical question.  It differs from your receiver in that it has its own power supply and chassis, which give it a chance to sound better, with lower noise.  Good tuners cost more than this even in the 70s.  Technology helps keep costs down, as well as offshore production.  Magnum Dynalab sells some pretty nice tuners these days - google them and check out their pricing.

**Q: Does this come with antennas?**
A: Yes. An AM loop and FM wire antenna.

**Q: Work with powered speakers?**
A: The unit has stereo RCA jacks and should work with powered speakers.

**Q: I'm looking for a tuner that gets hd...we have no classical music if you don't have the hd...i want one that will work wity my stereo component system**
A: No
