What do I purchase an Analog or a Digital tuner

The Magnum Dynalab tuners are nice and they are appealing visually, but in my opinion you can do as good and better by purchasing a vintage tuner. There were a lot of great tuners made in years past when there was a lot of emphasis on making good FM tuners and receivers. I suggest you spend some time at the FM Tuner Info site; by considering a vintage tuner you may be able to afford both types if desired.

Why not go for a hybrid? I know Sony makes a tuner able to receive both digital and analogue broadcasts. It may not be as good as the Magnum, but it sure is futureproof, and probably cheaper brandnew than a used Magnum....
It's the Sony ST-SDB900.

My $7 vintage Sansui tuner from eBay causes jaws to drop when people actually hear the thing. Get a good fidelity jazz broadcast from a public radio station or college (either can be found like below like 91.9Mhz FM or so on your dial). The trick is you need an relative uncompressed unscrewed up signal, and commercial FM isn't it. Some of those broadcasts rival my redbook front end for all of the audiophile critia, including musicality. Now that's scary. And remember, this is a used $7 solid state tuner from the '80s folks! I would seriously consider a respected used, vintage tuner before buying anything new. And like my $7 jobby, you might not need to spend all that much. The lucky part here is most people live in an FM waste land, so nobody needs or wants a tuner. And their loss is your gain. I would not buy a brand new, or current production model tuner. To me the value just isn't there. But maybe you listen to way more quality FM than I do?

I would purchase an analog vintage tuner if I were you. Also, you will need a decent roof-mounted aerial if sonics are important to you.

You should go to fmtunerinfo.com and read. There are many vintage tuners that will outperform many modern tuners at multiples of their price. Also modding a vintage tuner for a total of several hundred will get you sound quality equal to the best tuners made in the thousands range. This sounds like bs but it's true. There's a site on Yahoo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FMtuners/
These guys know everything you could possibly want to know about tuners! I highly recommend a modded vintage tuner. cheers
