FM Tuners


I would like to add a tuner to my system.

I am only beginning to research this, so anyone with experience that could help narrow my focus would be appreciated. I'm not looking for vintage receivers with built-in amps. I'd like a tuner to run into a Van Alstine SET 120, which is a control amp with a passive pre-amp section.

A tuner with a built-in pre-amp is not necessary, but I'm wondering if that might just be the ticket.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

I’ve owned a bunch of nice tuners in the last almost 40 years.  Even though I’ve had a number of very good digital tuners, I always prefer an analog tuner.  Prices have come way down on tuners and room might be a concern with the tall 70’s analog tuners.  Let us know your budget for a tuner and any size restrictions that you may have.  
 

For a smaller analog tuner, I’d highly recommend the NAD 4300, Yamaha T2, Creek CAS3140 and PS Audio ST1 if you can find one.
