Good, mid-price tuner?

My old Tandberg tuner continues to go out of alignment so i removed it from my system, but the wife still wants FM (I guess i wouldn't mind it either). What is a good option for current or recent production tuners? I'd like to avoid older tuners even though I know how good they can be. Not looking to spend thousands of dollars.

Can the Tivoli table radio be used as a stereo tuner through its rec out connection, or is it just mono (it says you can record in mono)?

Thanks.

My favorite current tuners are anything in the Magnum Dynalab line and the Myryad MT-100 (I just found one on eBay for $450). Jolida makes a new tube tuner that also looks very nice; but I haven't heard it.

I'll second the Magnum Dynalab. I have an FT-11 that I think I paid less than $400 for. Very simple tuner--but great sound--really great for $400.

I second the McIntosh tuners. The MR-73 is a really good buy if you want a classic model. Also, the newer MR-7082 is a real sleeper. I bought one here on Audiogon last year for about $425.00 and the sound is superb.

I have owned many nice tuners over the years, but recent ones I would recommend are the Rotel RT990 (300.00 to 375.00 used) and the Sony ST SA5es (350.00 to 500.00) used. Both sound great and the Sony is a giant killer.
