I’ve been very happy listening to the NPR Jazz radio here in the north west on an updated (refreshed, recapped etc) Sansui Tuner from the late 70’s (TU 717). all in I’ve got $600 into it and the sound is very good top to bottom, very enjoyable toe tappingly good sound, and it receives very well (I’m 80km from the antenna and get a full strength signal, using a Dynalab wip antenna).
These older high end tuners are very well made, right in the height of FM radio, there are many too choose from as well that would fit the bill.
Sansui, Kenwood, Marantz, MAC etc. all made some supper tuners that are better then almost anything made today. check out the Sansui TU-X1 for example of one of the best tuners ever made, IMO of course.
Tuner information center. Tuner Information Center - Vintage Stereo Tuners (fmtunerinfo.com) is a wealth of information.
I’d put my Sansui up against any Dynalab tuner sub $2000. they are that good after, refresh and alignment of course they are 35+ years old now.
