new to tuners


i've cobbled together a system for the office, using an integrated (nad c352) that doesn't have a built in tuner. i've never bought a separate tuner before, and know nothing about how much to spend, how important it is, what the issues to pay attention to are, etc. the office system is a denon dcm-360 cd player, the nad c352, and energy c6 speakers. cheap monster and straightwire cables. what do you spend on a tuner for a system like that, and what makes / models might do the trick? it's mostly just for talk radio, with occasional classical and rock stations. thanks. -dave

I have vintage 80's NAD equipment in my office. NAD tuners of that era are respectable and fairly cheap. Not good for AM however.
classic tuners are fun to own, but at this point an xm or sirius tuner is the ticket.
I would look for an NAD 412 tuner which did not come w/a remote BUT, I believe, can be made remote-controlable by using the your Int. amps remote and using the "link" RCA jack from the tuner to the Int. amp. Or buy a new Nad tuner. If you are not concerned about having a remote and want a basic good tuner there are so many to choose from! The 70's/Early 80's were a very good time for tuners. Many can be bought for a song.
The Marantz ST-6000 is a great bang for the buck tuner. Less than $300 thru Audio Advisor, even has its own remote. Good luck.
