Default FM Tuner Needed

I do not have a high end system, Pioneer Elite SC-37 receiver with Spendor =
S5e speakers, but it makes pleasant sounds to me. The problem I have is th=
at the tuner in the receiver is getting worse, or I am less tolerant of it,=
not sure which it is. As a lark, I connected a Yamaha T-50 that I was giv=
en years back and it sounds much better than the SC-37. AM is actually lis=
tenable on the T-50. Internet radio on the SC-37 sounds rolled off, OK for=
background, but not quite up to a good OTA feed.

The T-50's sole problem for me is that it predates IR remotes and is manual=
only. I would like to integrate a tuner into my Harmony One.

Any suggestions, either new or used? I listen to just 2 FM and 1 AM statio=
ns in the Boston area, WHRB mostly, WCRB when WHRB has other than classical=
or jazx and WBZ-AM for news. Given that, I do not want to spend much to a=
void having to get up and push buttons. Broadcast quality is such that I d=
o not need much better performance than the T-50. The days of WGBH running=
master tapes are long gone.
