Why spend megabucks on a tuner?
You don't have to pay mega dollars for a great tuner. I have found in thrift's and even on craigs list thoughout the years good finds on the cheap. My first find while in NYC was a Mitsubishi DA-F20 tuner going for the price of 25.00 the cab ride ...

What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player??
