Tuner for Jolida 502B

Just got a Jolida int amp and will need a tuner to match. Currently running Vandersteen 1c's. Any recommendations?

The driver tubes by the way are EH 12AT7s, yes this unit has four tubes. I left those in there. Balanced, smooth sound and extension, great sensitivity, selectivity. All in all a great bargain and it meets your criteria for a match.

Both sound very nice thru the 502A. The Sansui is more sensitive than the Technics by 10-20%. Am using an indoor rabbit ears antenna.

It is not digital so you will have to spin the knob to change stations but when you get locked onto a good station (do these exist any more?) you will be very happy. Good luck!
