Best AM antenna? Also Best AM Tuner

First off I know that AM sucks but there are programs that I listen to and I have a hard time pulling them in. So, I need to know what is best AM antenna. Secondly, when I see posts for best tuner alot of times their isn't AM (McIntosh, Magnum Dynalab, etc.) What are the best tuners that also have a good to great AM section? I have a Carver TFM Seven that I use now, but sometimes I will lose signal a I hate hearing some of the screeches I hear coming from my speakers.
