Thanks, Greg.
I am considering Rotel as well, have some of their components (a power amp, CD-Player and a receiver) in a couple different systems and like them. I know vintage tuners are best, but not sure I can afford the really nice ones. I would also like a tube tuner, but with solid state requiring less maintenance, and possibly no need for alignment (another expense that I am not sure I can afford) I may be going solid state for my first "real" non-integrated tuner.

The tube tuner that may be within budget is the Dyna FM3. A link to an article about FM-3 "care and feeding" is provided below.
As FM-3s take the jostling of shipment poorly, you will need to find a local technician to properly align any purchase you make. Once the unit is correctly aligned, the owner can adjust the alignment by following the instructions in the manual. A sophisticated set of instruments is not needed.

The Dynaco FM-3 sounds like a good one. I don't know anyone here in my area that works on radios/tuners though, so that might be a problem.

Rotel's all-time best tuner is the RHT-10 but way above your budget. The Rotel 990bx is a very close cousin and also highly regarded. Lots of Rotel fans out there. See the Tuner Information Center below for details.
