Best Long-Distance receiving Tuners

Looking for a used Tuner to clearly pull in stations from Los Angeles, I am approx 130 miles south and currently have a MacIntosh 1700 receiver which has a tube tuner. I have a FanFare SC-1 whip antenna which gets the station I want only marginally. I can't put up a roof antenna and I don't want to spend $300 for the Audio Prism 7ft indoor antenna. I am sure the Mac 1700 tuner is not equal in alternate channel selectivity or signal rejection to many tuners made after 1980. Appreciate all opinions and input. Thanks, Jimbo
