what's a good fm tuner?


Mcintosh wants $5000 for the tuner that looks like crap.....white  lights, come on boys get with it! I got the ma8900 and a and CD player.....im looking at the Yamaha t-s500..........the older mc tuners look cool mr78......but looks like a nightmare waiting to happen, and expensive one at best.

Tons of info on tuners here:   http://fmtunerinfo.com/

Sound quality is one issue, but reception is probably more important.  I have a Magnum Dynalab Etude, and while I love the sound, it doesn't pull in distant stations as well as my Onkyo T-9090 II.

Do you live in or near a metropolitan area or well outside one?  What are your plans for an antenna?

If you live a fair distance from the broadcast towers. how well the tuner handles distant stations (DX) will be important.  You'll do best getting a roof antenna.

fmfool.com and radio-locator.com can give you information on the distance to broadcast towers and signal strength.
