Tuners to audition under 700


Granted, that's an arbitrary ceiling, but I thought it would do to get the discussion started. I get fairly good FM reception in my area, though AM can be a bit sketchy. ANy recommendations?

If your thinking used...and you could find one..the Classe
Tuner-1 is very, very good...but very, very hard to find.
Magnum Dynalab FT-11. You can find it used for around $350 to $375 usually. It is FM only.
Definitely interested in used as well. My entire system is being put together with demo and components. Not cheap, but way below list.
for used, i suggest the onix bwd1 w/soap power-supply, tandberg 3001/3001a, magnum dynalab ft101/101a/etude, revox b760, revox b261, marantz 2130, mccintosh mr67/71/77, audiolab 8000, fanfare, meridian, sansui tu9900 or tu-x1, yamaha ct7000, accuphase t-100, quad fm-4... am i forgetting anyting? ;~)

If you don't mind pre-loved,look at some of the older Marantz or Fisher tuners. The sound can be exceptional, but there are obviously no luxuries like remotes and presets. Check ebay for say a Marantz 2130. you might get change out of $US300 for a minter. The only trouble is they nay need a bit more signal than a new model, but not by much. I have a Marantz 2285B receiver,used only as a tuner, a Fisher 800B and an old sherwood.The last two are tube, and all are stable, reliable, easily serviced and especially in the case of the Marantz I feel far more beautiful than modern stuff.Check out www.classic-audio.com
Is the sound quality of the radio in your area very good?
