Analog turner with strong reception

Fellow 'goners, I need your help.

I am looking for a good sounding turner with the best possible reception without outdoor attenna.

Where I live has nasty RFI and precludes the possibility of having outdoor attenna.

I am mainly interested in a local college Jazz station which doesn't have very strong signal, but I am able to listen to it in the car without problem.

My experience with turners is limited. I'd tried a Mac MR78 years ago without success.

I'd like to limit the budget to $1k, preferrably used.

I'd also throw the Magnum Dynalab products in the mix. My ancient FT-101/Signal Sleuth combo kicks out the jams, using just the Magnum indoor antenna, the ribbon deal.

I 2nd fmtunerinfo.com, they have an excellent shoot-out section. I've been through a lot of tuners, I live in a rural area about 50 miles to the nearest big city. I finally settled on a McIntosh 74, that conked out and then I put in a MR-7082 and have a small winegard antenna on my porch. I pull in a wide range of stations, including a great jazz 1 in DC that I tried to get for years. Funny thing, I didn't find the Magnum 101 to be good for me. Good luck.
