Fm tuner

Do your ears a favor and find a MR65/71 tubed Mcintosh.

With some effort, you can find a unit for $7-800 and it will perform and sound nicer than any of the value SS units you can find for a couple hundred bucks. 

The Scott tuners  are great, perhaps some will chime in, with knowledge.
.

As a backup, I have a $200 cambridge Audio 550T, which probably can be found for $50-75. For a cheap tuner, it sounds decent, looks nicer than it should, has a remote and RDS-shows the song and artist. 

"And now I own the finest FM tuner ever produced. There’s nothing better, at any price."

vtmtodvm-  you found something that agrees with your ears.  Have you owned one a Marantz 10B, REL Precedent,Scott...etc? I wasn t aware Sony produced such a product that can match and exceed the performance of these tubed classics.

Im a KUSC listener in SoCal, and yes that and our Jazz station can sound great on a decent tuner with a good antenna. I'm using a 65'  tubed Mac MR71.

Excerpt from linked article-
"As for audio quality, here’s what I have observed so far: HD radio at 48 Kbps is wider in both frequency range and dynamic range than analog FM. The noise floor is also incomparably better—basically total silence. What is missing at the reduced data rate is the spatial detail. The subtle spatial clues that render a clear 3-D soundstage and provide air around the instruments are better on the best analog FM broadcasts if cleanly received and reproduced through a really good pair of loudspeakers."

I haven't heard HD radio in a home system, just in the car.  This has peaked my interest I'd love to have one these inexpensive units next to my daily driver Mac.

One thing for certain the Sony unit doesn't have- the tube magic that makes the music-even the on air personalities, sound more realistic than a SS unit.

Enjoy listening!
