I like the suggestions. I had a small Lafayette SS once that was perfectly adequate. I have never tried a Macintosh or a Magnum Dynalab. Very curious about those.
The tube Scott or Bogen are inexpensive and there are many on US Audiomart now. Also a Luxman T-117!
Also a couple Sansui are available now.
I'll probably see if my technician will upgrade my Sherwood 3000. It's a favorite of mine.
Same with the Sony ST 5000F. My tech loved the quality of the build. The sound is good as is. But maybe good output capacitors would be good? IIRC he already replaced caps in the power supply. I just broke the antenna screw post on it in a moment of mentality lapse.
Yes, I'm a FM tuner nut because I listen to my tuner more than my excellent streaming system. My FM station plays a mix of music that i love. Cosmic county, Grateful Dead, Old-Time, alternative rock, jazz, and live in their studio sessions quite often. Thank you Braun and Linn and Byrd69.
