which budget FM Tuner

I had a Sumo Charlie for a short time a couple years ago, nice tuner.  I have a Creek CAS-3140 w/Din to RCA cable that is wonderful.  I've owned it for a good 6 years or more.  I've also owned some other nice tuners in the sub $200 range.  I prefer analog over digital tuners, let me see if I can find my old tuner post which lists the ones I've had, there are many good choices in this price range.  If you can get a Sansui TU-717, jump on it, but I don't think they are selling in the sub $200 range, are they???  Been out of the used Tuna market for a while as I am very happy with my Creek.

Here we go, from 1/14/14:

1. Harman Kardon 330C rec'r
2. Mitsubishi DA-R8 rec'r
3. McIntosh MR-71
4. Sansui TU-717
5. Pioneer TX-9800
6. Dyanco FM-3

8. Luxman T-400
9. McIntosh 1900 rec'r
10. Yamaha CT-810
11. Quad FM-4 (din outputs)
12. ADS T-2 - fun to use
13. NAD 4020A
14. Pioneer TX-500
15. B&K TS-108
16. Dyna FM-3
17. NEC T-710 - better than B&K 
18. Tandberg 2020 rec'r - nice
19. Creek CAS-3140 (din to rca) - neck and neck w/Tandberg

The fmtunerinfo.com site is a good place to start, not the end all in tuner sound, IMHO.

I don't know if you would find this tuner within your budget, but my favorite vintage tuner would be the Onkyo t-9090II. No it's not a Day Sequerra, but for the money it is still a great tuner & has great retro wood paneling. Another good option is the Yamaha TX-1000.

,,just wondering.... Why would you want an fm tuner. I have one built into the surround sound Denon, but never use it. There is limiless music/news on Spotify, Pandora, internet radio, etc. with better sound.

You might be amazed at the fidelity of good FM. Granted, most FM sounds dreadful, but then again so do many CDs and LPs. FM can also be local ... not so with Spotify, etc.  I still get some use out of my Mac MR-80, which I bought new, back when FM actually mattered.
