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.

Magnum Dynalab is probably your best new option. I'd seriously look at used vintage tuners and have it refreshed if needed. 

Sansui, Kenwood and Marantz are probably some of the best tuners every made. I'd look at that link above from the tuner information center and make an educated decision and buy vintage and have it recapped and aligned. 

I had my Sansui Tu 717 ( by no meens their best one  total upgraded and realigned ( paid $300 for the tuner and $400 for the updates). Now this tuner pulls in the NPR station in Seattle from Victoria BC about 80 miles away no problem and the sound is very good very musical and none fatiguing, better then the MD 90 I had prior.
