Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

McIntosh MR-71, mostly restored

Some of the best FM sonics I've ever heard! I've done only freshening-up on mine: HEXFRED diodes replaced the weak selenium rectifier (B+ was wayyy off spec), old electrolytic coupling caps replaced by Solen film caps (they were available in the largish values needed), all other electrolytic and molded paper caps replaced too, except for the multisection can, which I may eventually re-gut with Black Gates. Between the good tuner and good local stations, the tuner is one of my most-used pieces of equipment.
