Intermittant Problem Turned Into Quit
4 of 6 found this helpful Now I know why the previous owner unloaded this dog. FM tuner worked for a couple days before an intermittent problem became evident, including signal loss and loud pops. It began working properly again a couple hours later. On-again off-again same issue for a week until it (the FM section) stopped working altogether.
I have a lot of hi-fi audio experience, having worked a few years in the field. Have owned this model and other similar Adcom preamp-tuners in the past. My analysis is that some people disclose everything, while others pass their problems along to the next guy. The price one pays for being the former, as am I, means being the one who takes the loss. Has happened all too often on this site. Two other sites run by enthusiasts who understand the equipment and want to maintain standing in the audio community have proved to be sources for much more reliable equipment. Always a crap-shoot here, is my experience.
