Equipment "Tuners" "Tuners" is a German slang for shops that specialise in mildly modifying new audio equipment for a better sound quality. Unlike UK or US modification shops that usually only work on a small or specialised range of equipment, those German tuning shops utilise more generic modifications and will modify most recent hi-fi units. Some of them also perform more specialised mods. This is not as "kranky" as it may seem at first and indeed many of the specialised manufacturers are doing more or less the same thing but add their own badge to the proceedings. Most of those shops will also supply a range of high end electronic components etc. Bernd Ahne (Hi-Fi-Tuning.Com)Clockwork Ziphona Dr. Feikert GbR Please send any factual corrections, dead links, information and/or links that you feel that should be on this page to the page maintainer but please note that I do not have an Internet access at the moment so there may be some time before I can answer.
