Why is it so hard to put a good tuner in equipment today? My NAD 7175 has an outstanding tuner on its own, and with an attic mounted $15 radio shack directional high gain antenna I cleanly pull in stations 100 miles away. This receiver is 16 yrs old! If the heads of Outlaw were affiliated with the old NAD classics (and the old Proton line) with the Schotz tuners, why can't they create something at least as good, if not better, than those old pieces? It would be better if Outlaw offered an integrated amp instead of the 1050 or a pre/pro without the tuner. Then we could all go to ebay and pick up one of these great old NAD or Proton seperate tuners for about $50 and have a great FM system. Just my own thought, but look these lines up on ebay. The Schotz tuners were incredibly clean and sensitive.
