High Quality FM Tuner - Advice


My needs are simple. A tuner that has great sound and can bring in distant stations, in stereo, quietly. I have the right roof antenna system with a MD Signal Sleuth. I read about Magnum Dynalab, Fanfare, Linn, Accuphase, old Macs and Yamahas. I have the budget, if i can find the right unit. Your thoughts?

brian, i don't need a remote for the tuna, as i usually yust listen to one or two stations. i woodn't *dreamm* of using a preamp anymore, w/o remote volume control, at least.

and to whomever thought it necessary to give me negative wotes on my last comments, may the tuna gods strike yer antenna w/lightning & fry whatever tuna ewe have that i dint say good tings about... ;~)

hey cornfed, i'd be curious how the accufaze stacks up agains yer onix bwd1 w/soap. the onix, a minimalist tuna, is quite a bit nicer than the magnum ft101a, & the equal of the naim nat-01, imho. while rare on the market, these are a steal at the $300-$600 they usually go for...

also, the revox tunas are excellent, tho a tad-bit leaner sound than the onix. at least my b261 is... i found a great price on a revox b760, so i yust bought it, even tho i don't really need it. i can't wait 'til it arrives! ;~) re: the tandbergs, the 3001/3001a is the one to get - an excellent piece. if it hasn't been serviced recently, yule pay some bucks to have it serviced. these tunas have well-known service issues... forget about the 3011 - i bought one used, w/a week return-policy - it dint sound as good as my old adcom gft-1a, so back it went. for cheap, actually i'd recommend the gft-1a - the sonic equal of the magnum gft-101.
