I’m looking for a decent FM tuner, would like to spend less than $1200 if possible. Used is ok, maybe even preferable. Any advice, or recommendations would be helpful and appreciated.
I'm in the radio industry, so clear reception and reliable performance are on the top of our list.
The Sangean HDT-20 (around $200) is amazing! Great reception, un-colored sound and has digital outs, so you can plug it into whatever DAC you want or use the regular RCA outputs. It's not a gorgeous piece, like I am sure the others here are mentioned, but this thing performs incredibly well.
Out of all the best fm tuners made, that also look good, and can be found for under a grand ... that is my pick. I have one in stock form, that is fantastic. Had it for years. Never been opened up, but one of these days, I'll do the FMTunerInfo mods on it to give me a little more of it's natural goodness.
Very rare on the used market but if you can find a TAG McLaren T32R grab it. The original MSRP was $2500.00. The circuit is based on the famous Audiolab 8000T but tweaked to the max and updated to DAB standards with numerous convenience features as well. After years of searching I found one several months ago and it’s the one component I’ll never part with.
