The new tuners don't seem to measure up to the vintage stuff, I suspect the ability/talent to design a world class front end has fallen by the wayside. Engineers are taught how to design with digital circuits, RF/analog is a foreign concept to 99% of the engineering graduates in the last 20 years.
I've spent a lot of time trying out different tuners the last year or so (Sugarbrie, you're an evil man, you got me hooked on foolin' with 'em). For current tuners that offer great sound and features, there's Magnum Dynalab and Fanfare. To my ears, the rest of the stuff out there does not compare to vintage tuners from Pionner, Kenwood, or Sansui.
Check out
If you don't have the long green for a MD or Fanfare, and remote is a MUST, go to Ebay's tuner offering and type in "remote", do a search.
Good luck, Jeff
