East Bay, No. CA.
Am I only one to think that they notice that the Oldies (especially) and Classic Rock stations are playing the tunes just a wee bit speeded up (sharp)? Over a 24 hour period, of course, more room for commercials.
IMHO, I'd have problems going much over the mid 3-figures price wise for a new tuner. For me, the radio is for background music and auditioning; I rarely sit and listen to the radio. Also, I really, really doubt you'll ever find a station without a ton of limiting and compression. Simply use a cassette recorder in the pause position and watch the meters to check this out.
I'm also considering the Attic InTenna to replace the indoor 1/4 wavelength whip I use. Any user experience appreciated. At:

Station recc's:
KXJZ Sacramento The *best jazz programming I've ever heard. Public radio, listener supported. Saturday has the 4-hour Mick Martin Blues Party.
KVMR Nevada City. Volunteer DJ's, listener supported. Total DJ freedom within theme blocks.
KPFA Berkeley 'Nuff said.
The rest is all corporate owned, playlist formatted dreck.
Using a Parasound T3.
