Keiman421, it sounds like we are/were looking at the same tuners. I have read many good things about the Magnum Dynalab tuners. The Etude has a great reputation and has been around for years. I have read a Stereophile report on the Fanfare FT-1, they said it is very comparable to the Etude is sonics, yet it has some feature advantages and they are the same price. I have never seen either one in person, from pictures, I love the look of the MD. But I have to agree with some of the points in the Stereophile article, therefore, the plan is to order the Fanfare FT-1a tomorrow. As for antenna's, I bought the Fanfare FM-2G, Magnaum Dynalab has the same basic antenna, the ST-2 for about $85.
