There is a Magnum Dynalab MD-90 listed here for $600. I have that tuner and it is outstanding. The list price for that model is $1400. Here ya go! https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MDMD90 |
You should be able to pick up a really nice used tuner for $300-$500. The fmtunerinfo web site has (subjective) rankings of what the best tuners are and information about typical sale prices. While the tuner itself is important, even more important is getting a good signal to it. Use some of your budget on a good roof mounted antenna. I have an Onkyo T9090 II that I enjoy every day and with a good signal it comes close to CD in terms of sound quality. I paid $200 for it. |
