Whats the best used tuner for under 1000


I would like to buy a top quality used tuner for $1000 or less. Should I be looking for analog or digital and what models for best price? I live near a big city so reception is strong and I don't need to worry about that. Adjacent channel rejection would be a consideration but not any priority. Any specific recommendations? Thanks for your interest.

I deal in vintage tuners and highly recommend the Macintosh tuners. The two best are the MR-78 and the MR-80. The sonics are world class for any component.

If you like tube glow, the MR-71 is the best. They are a little lower build quality than the 78 and 80. I keep one of those in my all-tube Cary 300SEI system. It is better built and sounding than the MR67.

You should be able to find any of these tuners for 1K or less. The MR78 and 80 will likely be a little less than perfect cosmetically for that price.
