I'm leaning toward the Fanfare FT-1A for a couple reasons. I listened to the Magnum FT-101A and it sounds very good but I was a bit annoyed by the 100% analog tuning because I channel hop between commercials. I like the fact that the Fanfare has memory presets and a remote. If the Fanfare sounds at least as good as the Magnum, I'll probably get it. From what I gather, both tuners sound great and its more a matter of features, style, and convenience.
I agree completely with Ezmeralda11 (comments above) about the importance of a good antenna. My Fanfare vertical whip antenna in the back yard is sufficient since all of my favorite stations are fairly local. More signal could do more harm than good. Thanks everyone!
