Best Inexpensive Tuner?

Try a Scott, Fisher, Marantz Pioneer solid state tuner, like a LT112b or a Scott RCV (using the tuner section). Built like tanks & smooth sound- better than you would imagine. find one for under $50. I found the Dyna FM-3, TU717 to be overrated.

Contact Don Scott. He always has some good modern vintage and new tuners to sell. Don't forget a good antenna!

BYW/FYI, that Marantz ST6000 is Don Scott's favorite new tuner. For a few dollars more, he has some he has modified to make them even better than the already good stock version.

Sugar, Don Scott knows whereof he speaks. He made my vintage accuphase 30 - 100% better in nearly all specified dimensions. It is dead quiet under no signal conditions and more dimensional than ever on live BSO broadcasts. I'm sure he could do the same for the Marantz unit.

Ivanj I agree. What I am saying is Don Scott already has some brand new Marantz ST6000 that he has already modified, which can be purchased right now. I think he wants about $450 for them. The stock unit sold for $300.
