There's no voodoo magic about good FM tuner design and I'm sure there are plenty of good ones from the past including McIntosh. Of the tuners that are readily available I like the entry Magnum FT-101A. It sounds outstanding and has good selectivity for strong signal metro areas and good sensitivity for pulling in weak stations - but many decent FM tuners can do this. I also own a $180 (used) Adcom GFT-555II AM/FM tuner. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this bargain tuner to any audiophile (except those who only feel satisfied spending mega bucks on their gear).
