I have had a NAD 4150 tuner for about 13 months.  The first 12 I was living in 
an apartment and ran the tuner from a folded dipole in the basement.  I now livein a townhouse and have an antenna in my attic (The townhouse association                           
prohibits mounting of antennae on the roof.)
 
Here's my problem.  I pick up more stations now than before (Trenton, Phila., 
etc) but the quality is no better. There is a lot of annoying noise in my
reception and most stations are much more listenable in mono than in stereo.
I had the unit checked out at the dealer (still under warrantee) and they said there is nothing wrong with the unit.  I've also tried many different anntenae
up in my attic (omnidirectional as well as highly directional) and the results
were always the same. I make many tapes from broadcasts and need good
reception.
My question is can anyone recommend tuners that will pull in stations and at
the same time do it QUIETLY?
Can this performance be had for under $400? under$500 I guess $600 would be the
most I would want (or could afford) to spend.
Any body know anything about the new tuner from HAFLER?

Any comments (good or bad) will be appreciated. As usual reply by email and if
interest warrants I will post a summary.
