TU-S10 has a excellent finish and are heavy, it’s gold coloured aluminium fascia is very nice.
There are no tuning knob like the cheaper models, there are 19 buttons and a remotecontrol.
As
extras compared to the basic tuner models from Denon there are RF
Attenuator, IF Wide/Narrow and Attenna selector A/B. It also has copper
screening and some tripple screening inside.
As other Denons it
has full RDS functions including Radio Text wich shows detailed
information of the current program with up to 64 characters if the
broadcaster supports it.
I think this is a genious function since I can do my choice of listening to a program without a programlist!
Denon has the aquard habit of dividing the presets from A to E and 1 to 8 on each to a total of 40 presets.
When you turn the power on with the memory button pushed it program itself.
The powerbutton is secondary so you have to unplugg the powercord when you be away for a longer time.
But the memory should stay for a month acording to the manual.
The sound is very clean and detailed, the bas has power and the mids are warm, the highs has sharp transients.
The output impedance is 100Ohm but the output are’nt very strong, I had to use the volume control to adjust.
Overall my experience is of a calm sound but it doesn’t lack dynamics.
I have tried it with newslistening, classical and popmusic. To night I will try the AM quality.
I
enjoy listening to radio very much, even to AM and can continue to
listen to a Denon tuner when I sell my reciever and enjoy it’s
convinience and sound!
