Good FM tuner for around $1K

Sansui TU717 and TU919 are about the best out there for reasonable money better then the Mag Dynalab lower tier entries by a good margin. find one recapped already, easy to find too. I wont get into a discussion here but a recapped 717-919 is a better sounding tuner then the 9900 IMO( recapped or not). I’m listening to a redone TU 717 now, I’m tuning in to KNKX out of Seattle I’m in Victoria BC Canada (over 80miles away as the crow fly’s) perfect signal sounding wonderful.


Google, Tuner information center shoot out. probably the biggest data base for vintage tuners. really they don’t make tuners like they used to. there is a reason High end vintage Sansui’s and Kenwood tuners get upwards of $3k

+1 on Accuphase. I have two T101's. The T 100 is even better. Great sound and locks on to stations.

Having lived in good DXR locations I used many tuners.Depending on what you are listening and where you live would help you determine what you may like in a tuner. 

I have a Pioneer TX-9100. Go find the best picture you can on-line, mine's better. I'm the original owner. $250 plus shipping. A solid +3dB on the Cool Factor Meter.

Old kenwood tuners some of the best I’ve ever had. Sansui, accuphase, luxman and McIntosh awesome as well. You should do very well on your budget.
