Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

Very rare and collectible MICHI tuner from Rotel.

"MICHI" means "the way" in Japanese and this special series of limited production examples were all hand-built utilizing the best components available.

Including Black Gate capacitors made in Japan by the Rubycon Corporation in the power supply and audio circuits.

We've included some internal pictures so you can appreciate the quality and attention to detail.

The tuner is working perfectly and is able to pull in all the great stations in our area. The front display is nice and bright, and all buttons are super responsive.

It arrived with a few scratches on the soft aluminum top so we did a vinyl wrap which came out great.

The SkyFi Testing Process for Tuners:
We start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure there are no signs of stress or aging. Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of bulging or leaking, resistors are checked for signs of overheating or cracking, and transistors are checked for signs of stress or damage.

Then the tuner is thoroughly tested in our lab utilizing our professional Sencore SG80 FM Generator, which allows us to generate a reference FM signal of any frequency and amplitude, and then measure the resulting tuner output on our Sencore PR81 or oscilloscope.

Final testing involves pushing actual music from the tuner. We've learned over time that some issues are only noticeable to a trained ear while listening to familiar source material. Our test bench has reference vintage KEF speakers that we're very familiar with which quickly reveal any discrepancies. Some tuners will then move into our listening room where they are tested with our in-house reference speakers of choice.
