What are some excellent mid -priced tuners?

Check out Fanfare

I bought a Myryad tuner (they only make one model, i forget the name/number) here for about $700 and it is an excellent performer. Comes w/remote and many presets and sounds wonderful. My favorite of the tuners I own is my Mac MR67, which I also got for $700, I think from eBay. I spent a couple hundred dollars more replacing a burned out light and all the tubes w/Telefunkens and it is the best-sounding tuner I have ever heard, at least in my home. No remote or presets, though, and alignment by one of the vintage tube outlets costs about $300. I haven't done the alignment and it still sounds incredibly rich and deep and receives stations superbly.

At $1600 plus an additional $400 for the remote controlled version, you may not consider the top-of-the-line Magnum Dynalab MD100 a "mid price" tuner, but I absolutely love mine. I wouldn't trade it for anything, and having a remote controlled tuner is one of life's greatest pleasures. It's sort of like buying your first microwave oven: after you buy it, you wonder how you lived without it. If the tuner is on while you're reading and you want to skip the commercials, you just hit a button on the remote without getting up... just like in the car. If you want an MD100, be careful when shopping. There is no difference in the model number between the one WITH the remote and the one WITHOUT it. If you're shopping the audio sites for a used one be sure which version you're looking at, but sonically you can't go wrong.

IMHO get the Audio Refinment Complete tuner (YBA)... Around $700 and will not disapoint you... I tried it against a few high priced tuner like the Sim Audio Air Tuner and ended being as good if not better (at half the price)... I also tried the MD100 from Magnum Dynalab and I would still choose the Audio refinment...

Don't forget to get the best antenna possible. This will make a BIG difference...

i second the mac 67. at your price range i do not think you can do better. marantz 10b if you can find one at that price level. i have heard the md and fanfare. a little thin to my tastes. sounds like radio. imo.

good listening
