Description from the seller
The Pioneer TX-9800 is one of the most legendary and best performing analog AM/FM stereo tuners Pioneer has ever made. The device was produced between 1979 and 1981 and was the absolute top model within the famous 'Blue Series' line (often combined with the equally iconic SA-9800 amplifier).
The tuner is known in the audio world for its extremely accurate signal reception and its iconic, warmly lit analog scale with blue/white accents.
Key Features & Technology
Quartz Locked Tuning: The TX-9800 uses a special Quartz Sampling Lock system. As soon as you manually tute to a transmitter and release the tuning button, the quartz circuit locks the frequency. This completely prevents the station from running over time (FM drift).
Touch-Sensor Tuning: The tuning button is touch-sensitive. As soon as you touch the button, the automatic lock temporarily turns off so you can smoothly rotate to another transmitter.
High-quality RF section: Equipped with an impressive tuning capacitor with 5 sections (5-speed) and 3 dual-gate MOS FETs. This ensures an exceptionally high sensitivity and the effective suppression of unwanted interference signals.
Variable and Fixed Outputs: The rear has both a fixed (fixed) and an adjustable (variable) line output. This allows you to tune the output volume of the tuner directly to the input of your amplifier.
