IMHO you can significantly upgrade your Sony tuner if you send it to Mike Williams (AKA "Punker X"). He advertises in the Tuner forum over at www.audiokarma.org.
Go for the full upgrade (I'd skip the cooling fans - The Sony will not heat up if you set the display to its lowest illumination level after his mods).
You will be shocked at the improvement in sound quality!
I've read the new McIntosh MR88 sounds even better and is even more sensitive than the Punker X modded Sony HD tuner, but I don't see one in my future because of its high cost.
