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

You can have a good tube tuner: the MD108. Oops except it's not all tubes, just the audio output stages I believe. I have the MD102, one step down from the 108, but it's still marvelous.
