Good, mid-price tuner?

My old Tandberg tuner continues to go out of alignment so i removed it from my system, but the wife still wants FM (I guess i wouldn't mind it either). What is a good option for current or recent production tuners? I'd like to avoid older tuners even though I know how good they can be. Not looking to spend thousands of dollars.

Can the Tivoli table radio be used as a stereo tuner through its rec out connection, or is it just mono (it says you can record in mono)?

Thanks.

I'll second the Magnum Dynalab. I have an FT-11 that I think I paid less than $400 for. Very simple tuner--but great sound--really great for $400.

I second the McIntosh tuners. The MR-73 is a really good buy if you want a classic model. Also, the newer MR-7082 is a real sleeper. I bought one here on Audiogon last year for about $425.00 and the sound is superb.

I have owned many nice tuners over the years, but recent ones I would recommend are the Rotel RT990 (300.00 to 375.00 used) and the Sony ST SA5es (350.00 to 500.00) used. Both sound great and the Sony is a giant killer.

The Nakamichi ST7 is a good tuner and underrated. Consider it at only $250 on the market.
