Go vintage. I had an older Sansui Tu-717, Kenwoods are good too. The 717 was a significant upgrade over a Magnum Dynalab FT-101A Etude, and it only cost a couple hundred bucks. It's not often that you can save big $$$ and get better sound. The golden age for tuners was in the late 70's and early 80's. They simply don't build them like that anymore, for under $2K anyway.
I said had, because I sold it after I realized I went 2 years without using it. Too many sources, LP's, CD's, SACD's, DVD's. I needed to clear rack space for sources, so the old tuner and analog cassette deck are gone.
Cheers,
John
