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.

I bought a Myryad tuner (they only make one model, i forget the name/number) here for about $700 and it is an excellent performer. Comes w/remote and many presets and sounds wonderful. My favorite of the tuners I own is my Mac MR67, which I also got for $700, I think from eBay. I spent a couple hundred dollars more replacing a burned out light and all the tubes w/Telefunkens and it is the best-sounding tuner I have ever heard, at least in my home. No remote or presets, though, and alignment by one of the vintage tube outlets costs about $300. I haven't done the alignment and it still sounds incredibly rich and deep and receives stations superbly.
