The inner life of the Blaupunkt Artec h PT-3890 corresponds to that of the Sansui TU-X 701 . While the Sansui was offered in a noble exterior, and is still traded relatively high today, the outer appearance of the PT-3890 is normally simple, with very good workmanship. However, the electronics are very high-quality, as the technical data suggest.

The sound impression of this tuner is excellent, provided that the signal arrives clean at the antenna connection. If your favorite station is still noisy or disturbed, then this is either due to an insufficient orientation of the VHF outdoor antenna, or due to a lousy VHF signal from your cable provider.
The Tuner has two antenna inputs, that is, it can be connected to both an FM outdoor antenna as well as an antenna cable to the cable connector, and the antenna can be selected by pressing a button.
The bandwidth of the input filters and the intermediate frequency can be switched separately from "near" to "far", or "narrow" to "wide".
Direct frequency input: Instead of using the buttons to search for the desired station, the transmission frequency can be entered directly.
The operation differs from usual tuners. An entry must be confirmed again by pressing a separate key.
