Looking to add a tuner to my setup but have limited rack space. Is there a narrow sized tuner besides the Naim NAT02 that's nice?

Excellent sounding FM tuner in a small package
Very small for the good sound. You will still want a good directional antenna if at all possible. And it runs hot so it needs an external fan (mine sits on a laptop computer fan base).
Not as "involving" as my McIntosh MR78 but if I had to, I could be happy with only the F1HD.
They can be found used on EBAY although priced higher than original cost of $99.
. I judge any sound system by how tiring it is to listen to.

Parasound was mentioned. Here's one on ebay right now...

Just stumbled upon the Tangent tuner.

Pro-Ject Tuner, or a used Sony XDR-F1HD if you can find one are two more options.
I ordered a Pro ject Tuner Box for my bedroom mini system. It holds up very well compared to my FM3 and Sherwood 3000 when I tried it in my main stereo. I had to order from England because it's not available here in the US.
Looks like it is currently available from Amazon in silver finish. Does it come with a 9v power supply?
It comes with a 5v power supply and adapters to work with most countries mains. It also includes a wire antenna which though cheap works for me. I was wrong, you can buy from US sources now.
Best FM tuner ever manufactured. Sony XDR F1HD. 6.38"w x 7.13"d x 2.38"h.
Why others are posting large tuners when poster asked for 1/2 size is beyond me!
howzabout a Bell 2255? ;)

Vacuum tube -- mono, though (although an outboard MPX could be added).
Cute little rascal it is.
all the best,

The Meridian 104 looks intriguing, but no doubt hard to find. On the other end of the spectrum, I have a Radio Shack TM-175 which sounds better than the $10 it cost me.
Hi Joe,
If you can live with older units the Mitsubishi M-F01 is an FM only 1/2 width unit that performs well.
HA
Parasound made a great tuner for their small form factor series-
Also if you want any of the old tube units from Eico, Lafayette, Pilot, Dynaco, Fisher....
Happy Listening
