Right tuner for the job

Warren:

Can you give us a bit more info, such as:
1. Do you intend to use the tuner for critical listening, or will it be used mainly for casual listening?
2. How much are you willing to spend, and are you willing to buy a used tuner?
3. How good is the rest of your system that will be used with the tuner?
4. Do you want a tuner that has both FM and AM capability?
5. Do you want an analog tuner, or is a "digital" tuner OK?
6. Will you be using the tuner to get distant stations?
7. How good is the local radio programming where you live?

With this info, it will be easier to offer some good suggestions about which tuner to buy.

Thanks for the additional info. Given your present audio equipment, I'll conclude that you want to get a first-rate tuner, but are willing to buy a used unit. Have you considered getting a Sequerra tuner? They were -- and still are -- one of the finest tuners ever made. It will probably take some time to track one down a Sequerra, but you won't ever have to worry about getting something "better".
