Need a new FM Receiver that works very well


We have a 40 year old Carver that the channels have gone bad and have been using as a receiver. Now it appears the stereo decoder is going bad. Suggestions on a basic FM tuner high end but not too high end. I know FM is waning but we have really good setup.

I just got a great Magnum Dynalab MD108T. Wow, does it sound good on my incredible local station, KCRW.com (on FM).  I was able to trade in my MD102 and that was the reason I went for the MD108T.

I suggest you look at something like a used MD102 or lower, if you want to save more money. I think the MD units sound very good. Here is the link to the certified used units.

The MD102 was very good. The MD108T is great. There is a popular tuner web site that does shootouts with various tuners but I do not follow their thinking.

I also have the Sony XDR-F!HD. It is very cheap and was almost as good as my MD102 ($2700)

I had it modified by this guy for a total price of around $500. You can still get the stock Sony on eBay.
