Lots of good advice has been given, personally I’ve had a McIntosh MR 71 for years. A very nice sounding tuner, especially after I had it brought back to factory specs by Audio Classics. The problem is I don’t use it any more. Why? All the radio stations I might listen to have horrible sound. Most stations now are heavily compressed and many are just broadcasting syndicated programming which has been sent digitally (do you think it’s CD quality? Nope. Probably not even MP3 quality). There used to be some really good sounding stations, there may still be some low power college stations or NPR stations (though not many are music oriented anymore). Last time I checked I was very disappointed, steaming sounded better. My advice would be to verify there are stations you want to listen to and will benefit from a good tuner. I’m also surprised no one has asked specifically about how far away the stations might be or if you are in an urban area, both present challenges to a tuner and may be more important than the sound quality. One other thing, you will probably need a good antenna. A lot of interference can be eliminated with a good directional antenna. Good luck!
