low profile tuners?

I've been very happy w/ a Denon TU-767 in a rack w/ a NAIT5 (I think there were also lower Denon models w/ the same profile). It was a very-well-reviewed unit in its day - mid 80s.

See Tuner Information Center.

If you want a great analog FM only Nikko Gama 1 is a great one there are a few listed on Ebay check them out.

The Linn Kremlin is about 3" in height and it's LK box is small and fairly unobtrusive. The reception and sound is stunning. And they are going for around 1/5 of their original cost used these days ($1000 - $1200).

Yamaha Tuners from their "NATURAL SOUND" line also do well in tuner shootouts. Just sold a T-2 yesterday right here.
There was a lot of interest. I also own a Magnum Dynalab
Etude (3.5")&(nfs) and it sounds real good with a dead quiet background.

I love my Tandberg 3001 tuner,low profile and sounds great.
