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.

This is the Mcintosh Model to get. They can still be found for a decent price. Forget those other models.

You will hear that "familiar sound" that will take you back more simple times. Nevermind the techie specs others will counter for some other brand. I've heard the Marantz 10B plenty of times, it's a more refined sound, but not THAT much.

Get a decent antennae setup, and sit back with a cold one.

You can find a nice aftermarket case for a reasonable price too.

I found one one here, 4 years ago for $750, almost perfect chrome case, decent tubes, works flawless. 14 tubes of good ol analog sound.Even the DJ's sound good.
