Whats the best used tuner for under 1000


I would like to buy a top quality used tuner for $1000 or less. Should I be looking for analog or digital and what models for best price? I live near a big city so reception is strong and I don't need to worry about that. Adjacent channel rejection would be a consideration but not any priority. Any specific recommendations? Thanks for your interest.

Or.... if you go on "e-bay", you should be able to get you a Magnum Dynalab FT-101 for around $400.00 to $500.00 or so. Ryan may not like Magnums (and I am not about to knock him on his opinion, he's entitled to his opinion like I am entitled to mine), but tell you what, I have Magnum (an FT-101...... the "ORIGINAL" Magnum Dynalab.... the one that was made in 1985!!!!), and I sure as hell love mine. Unless I get a tuner that was made in the 1970's (unless it an NAD Monitor Series 4300 from 1988, or a Nakamichi ST-7 with Scholtz circuitry from about the mid 1980's.... (unless of course, if it is a Magnum Dynalab, or one of the other two I have just mentioned)), I won't be getting anything that was made later than 1980, and there is "NO" way I'm parting with my FT-101. I bought mine in 2000, and guess what??? It was one of the best buying decisions I have EVER made. And I have no regrets in buying a Magnum either.

Like I said, "Ryanmh1" may not like Magnums (or maybe he has had a bad experience with them.... and so forth), but I happen to love them. My FT-101 is a great tuner, and I don't plan on parting with mine anytime soon.

Spend $400.00 to about $500.00 and get you a Magnum Dynalab FT-101, and be happy afterwards.

You won't regret it.
