What are some excellent mid -priced tuners?

I have a MC162 with a C15 pre-amp. Not sure if I want to stay with Mcintosh (MR85) or go with something else. 800. 1400 dollar range.

The Etude can usually be found used on Audiogon. The MD100 is the newest release of the Etude model. The MD102 is the best SS tuner out there. Like Gthrush1 said, get a Yagi and put in on your roof. If you can only do indoor, than use an ST-2 inside with a Signal Sleuth. I listen to my Etude more than my CD player, the sound is just wonderful!

You can find them here on the gon for around 1100-1200 or an Etude for around 700-900. The MD100 has exactly the same specs as the Etude model. I did an A/B with a 2001 Etude model and the MD100 and couldn't distinguish any differences.
