thanks in large part to a rotatable, er, lowly Winegard 6055P, the presence of a listener-supported 24/7 jazz station 70 miles away, a listener-supported 24/7 classical station 40 miles away, and a same-distance-away community college station, all with quality signals which arrive fully separated and "clean." Which is why I've acquired three vintage Mc tuners in the last few months.

if you're getting a clean, consistent signal from 70 miles away.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
I am leary of an outdoor antenna due to two near misses of lightning strikes. Both damaged some household equipment and house wiring. However, perhaps an upgrade to an indoor attic antenna. I am receiving a few great sounding FM stations and an attic antenna will add to the list.
I bought a few tuners for a face-off that are more sensitive & selective than my hot-rodded tube tuners plus have superior multiplexers. I will add a McIntosh MR74 to list below plus a few more if I can find the select tuners.
I bought a Pioneer TX-9500II. I will upgrade capacitors in the PS plus Cree diodes, and audio grade capacitors for the audio paths from the multiplexer to output. Will perform an alignment as well, but quite sensitive as is. Also, purchased a Kenwood KT-990D with mods already performed by a well known tech.
Could not any damage be averted by a properly grounded antenna mast and an inline static discharge on the coax?

Lightning may damage me- the hell with the tuners!
